Boyd 55 Road Disc SL Carbon Wheelset - XDR Driver - 700c

The fastest, lightest, and most advanced road wheelset Boyd Cycling has ever produced.

The Boyd 55 Road Disc SL sits at the top of the Podium Series lineup, delivering elite-level aerodynamic performance, remarkably low weight, and race-ready responsiveness. Built around Boyd's newest T1000 carbon rim platform and Grade 54 ratchet hubs, this wheelset was engineered for riders who refuse to compromise between climbing performance and aerodynamic speed.

At just 1329 grams per set, the 55 SL is significantly lighter than many competing deep-section carbon wheelsets while maintaining the aerodynamic advantages of a 55mm rim depth. Whether you're chasing podiums, attacking group rides, or building your dream road bike, the 55 SL is designed to maximize speed in every situation.
