FARSPORTS UFO DISC HGR - RETRO
The FARSPORTS UFO Disc HGR - Retro is a premium full carbon disc rear wheel engineered to deliver maximum aerodynamic efficiency for time trialists and triathletes.Featuring a distinct retro finish and a fully hollow rim construction, it slices through wind while keeping overall weight minimal.
Designed for ultimate speed, the FARSPORTS UFO Disc Rear Wheel utilises a double-dished aerodynamic structure that minimizes drag far beyond traditional spoked deep-section wheels. The vintage-inspired carbon weave finish combines a striking retro visual profile with cutting-edge composite engineering, giving your race rig a unique aesthetic without compromising technical output.
Constructed with a modern 22mm internal rim width, this tubeless-ready disc wheel integrates seamlessly with wider modern tyres to offer reduced rolling resistance, enhanced cornering stability, and superior ride compliance.Equipped with a smooth FAR hub and a Shimano/SRAM 11/12-speed Hyperglide Road (HGR) freehub body, power transfer is instantaneous.
Whether you are targeting personal bests on flat road time trials or seeking an aerodynamic edge in non-draft triathlon legs, the UFO Disc Wheel delivers uncompromised speed, lightweight responsiveness, and head-turning retro styling.

Why This IS For You
✅ Pure Aero Focus: Ideal for time trialists and triathletes seeking the ultimate drag-reduction rear wheel.
✅ Standout Aesthetics: Perfect if you want cutting-edge carbon performance paired with a unique retro finish.
✅ Modern Wide Rim Design: Great for running modern 25mm to 28mm tubeless tyres for speed and comfort.
Why This May NOT Be For You
❌ Windy Road Courses: High crosswinds can make a solid disc rear wheel harder to handle on technical courses.
❌ SRAM XDR Users: This specific model features an HGR (Shimano/SRAM HG) freehub body rather than an XDR driver.
❌ General Road Riding: Overspecified and less practical for everyday group rides or steep mountainous climbs.
BFC PRO TIP
When mounting a tubeless tyre onto a full disc wheel, install your tubeless valve and seat the bead before inflating with a high-volume pump or CO2 cartridge. Because access to the valve is through a small cutout in the disc face, make sure you use an angled pump adapter (crack pipe adapter) for easy pressure checks on race morning!
