New K1 RD
Winning has always been in our DNA
Continuing our winning tradition, the K1-RD is the crown jewel of our Tech Centre, engineered to dominate the toughest competitions. It powered Simone Avondetto, Current Elite XCO European Champion, to his first World Cup podium on the famous Les Gets track.
Winning legacy
The winning legacy of those who have turned effort
into victory.
Behind every curve, every climb, and every descent reflects a tradition of excellence, a winning baton passed from generation to generation.

Race Division
K1-RD wheels are developed in collaboration with
the Wilier Vittoria MTB Factory and fueled by the
competitive spirit of our Race Division, combining
past craftsmanship with today's technology and
innovation, all aimed at achieving elite-level
performance.
Peak performance and durability
Peak performance and durability are achieved with CeramingSpeed coated oversized bearing, an advanced technology that significantly enhances the lifespan of bearings. This coating ensures minimal wear and tear, even under demanding conditions. The reduced friction not only extends the bearings' life but also improves overall efficiency. This results in consistently optimal performance and long-term reliability, making CeramicSpeed coating ideal for high-speed racing.
Wider, smoother, faster
Minimizing rolling resistance is the key for
Mountain Bike riders. Wider rims enhance tire
support, allowing for lower pressure and better
handling on rough terrain. This means the tire's
contact patch stays stable, reducing issues like
'tire burping' and improving control.
By running lower pressure, your tire adapts more
easily to obstacles, decreasing rolling resistance
and rider fatigue.
Lightweight and responsive
A new lightweight and responsive rim, engineered for high performance.
We have increased the inner width from 29mm to 30mm and bearing have been improved to oversized model, enhancing stability and traction for a superior riding experience.
With new updates and a lighter build, we managed to bring the weight of the wheelset down to just 1345 grams.
This careful balance of improved functionality and weight efficiency ensures that riders can enjoy both durability and speed without compromise.
More stiffness and impact resistance
Compared to the K1-EVO, the stiffness of the K1 RD wheels has been enhanced by 20%. This increased stiffness translates into improved handling and responsiveness, particularly during high-speed cornering and technical trail sections. Additionally, the K1-RD wheels feature a 15% improvement in impact resistance. This enhancement makes the wheels more durable and better able to withstand harsh terrain and sudden impacts without compromising their structural integrity.
4 years warranty
The K1-RD, like all other Miche carbon fiber
wheels, comes with a free warranty extension of up
to 4 years, doubling the 2 years of standard
coverage required by law. This initiative is
designed to provide enhanced protection for your
wheels at no additional cost.
