The new-generation ULM rim is made fromHexMC, a high-strength , high-carbon prepreg produced by HEXCEL, also used on the Airbus A380. Thanks to the random arrangement of its fibers, this rim offers more homogeneous mechanical resistance than bi-directional or uni-directional fabrics. It is made in France using a complex and precise manufacturing process, which guarantees unrivalled quality, strength and durability.

To complement the carbon rim, a hub and braking system have been designed and optimized for our small aircraft. The stationary parts are made of 7075 T6 aeronautical aluminum with an anodized finish for optimum protection against oxidation.

Each product undergoes a battery of rigorous tests to guarantee compliance with the advertised specifications, ranging from dimensional and visual checks to destructive and endurance tests. What's more, thanks to our adaptability, we are able to customize the assembly to ensure compatibility with any ULM.

The microlight rim of the future

"Lighter than aluminum, stronger than steel.

Our Evoskil® carbon wheels are made from HexMC, a material developed by global composites manufacturer Hexcel. This high-strength, high-carbon prepreg is also used in highly demanding aerospace applications, such as the Airbus A380. The random arrangement of HexMC fibers provides exceptional homogeneous mechanical strength.

Braking system

Robust & durable

All the immobile parts making up the brakes in our kit are made of anodized 7075 T6 aluminum, renowned for its strength and lightness. Bolts, pistons, brake pad support pins and brake discs are made of stainless steel, for their resistance to corrosion and heat.

For maximum safety, the wheel is secured with an MB5 lock washer and a KM5 nut. The brake caliper is not just an add-on part - it's integrated directly into the stub axle, further enhancing the efficiency and robustness of our braking system.

The brake disc is float-mounted, ensuring perfect alignment at all times and virtually zero thermal conductivity towards the carbon rim.
