Topolino Testrider Goes Rogue!

Just weeks away from release, a Topolino Technology test rider has gone rogue and run off with a set of new TrueBlack CTR2.0 wheels. A Topolino spokesperson reported the wheels were lent to the testrider several weeks ago and everything seemed normal. The problem began when the TrueBlack wheels were to be returned to Topolino headquarters. Apparently the testrider became so enamored with the ride that he refused to return the wheels, and sprinted away. Recent video submitted anonymously shows the rogue rider, continuing to ride the new wheels on all surfaces and conditions.

A top Topolino official expressed little surprise at the testrider's reaction. Apparently most riders are reluctant to give up their Topolino wheels after riding them, as they are known for their incredible responsiveness, light weight, and smooth ride.

The new TrueBlack CTR2.0 wheelset, due in select bike shops next month, features continuous carbon fiber spokes and the proprietary Topolino Carbon Core hub. The suggested retail price is $1,420.

Anyone who sees the the new TrueBlack wheels or the rogue rider is encouraged to contact Topolino Technology immediately. Topolino officials warn that they do not encourage anyone to try to apprehend the rider or the Topolino wheels themselves. Instead, they recommend to visit the nearest authorized Topolino dealer to purchase them.

Topolino Launches Two New Wheel Models

For the first time in over seven years, Topolino is launching two new models with a special new composite spoke material. The new TrueBlack spokes have 50% greater carbon content, giving the wheels greater lateral stiffness and responsiveness. This performance comes at an amazingly low weight, as the proprietary composite spoke technology has a superior stiffness-to-weight ratio that simply cannot be matched by conventional metal spokes. Beyond these great performance characteristics, the TrueBlack spokes are all-black, lending a truly different look to the Topolino new wheel models.

TrueBlack™ CTR2.0 - Smooth, Durable and Incredibly Responsive.
The TrueBlack™ CTR2.0 wheels are both fast and functional. Weighing a mere 1360 grams per pair, they can handle everything from racing to ultra-distance training. These wheels climb like a gazelle, ride like silk and are built to last. Available January 2010.

TrueBlack™ ATR3.0 - The Most Aerodynamic Clincher Wheelset Yet.

The TrueBlack™ ATR3.0 balances enhanced aerodynamics with stability and control in changing cross-wind conditions. The reduced spoke count minimizes wind resistance, while the 2:1 rear lacing ratio provides truly balanced spoke tension and increased lateral stiffness. Available March 2010.

The new TrueBlack models complement the existing line of Topolino wheels, which are the highest performing, most technologically advanced wheels made. All are handcrafted individually at the Topolino workshop in Bethel, Connecticut. Topolino is proud of its craftsmanship and invites you to see all our wheels firsthand at an authorized Topolino dealer.
