UpVine Pro Plus Carbon Wheelset
UPVINE PRO PLUS Disc Carbon Wheelset
Built to Be Pushed.
The UPVINE PRO PLUS is a race wheelset engineered for riders who demand absolute confidence when the pace is at its highest. Rather than chasing the lowest possible weight, the PRO PLUS has been developed around a different philosophy: delivering maximum stiffness, immediate power transfer and exceptional structural integrity when riding at the limit.
Whether you're sprinting for the finish line, descending at high speed or attacking through technical corners, every component has been engineered to remain composed under the most demanding conditions.
Constructed using premium carbon fibre, UPVINE's patented SafeguardCore™ PBO-Carbon Hybrid spokes, precision in-house hubs and advanced aerodynamic rim profiles, the PRO PLUS delivers race-winning performance without compromising reliability.
Every PRO PLUS wheelset stocked by Off The Front is officially listed on the UCI Approved Wheels List, making it eligible for UCI-sanctioned competition.

Engineered for Confidence
The PRO PLUS wasn't developed simply to be fast.
It was developed to remain stable, predictable and confidence inspiring when riding conditions become demanding.
Hard accelerations, technical descents, rough road surfaces and high-speed cornering all place enormous loads through a wheelset. Rather than reducing material purely to save weight, UPVINE has engineered the PRO PLUS to deliver exceptional structural integrity alongside elite-level performance.
The result is a wheelset that allows riders to push harder with complete confidence.
SafeguardCore™ PBO-Carbon Hybrid Spokes
One of the defining technologies of the PRO PLUS is UPVINE's patented SafeguardCore™ PBO-Carbon Hybrid spoke.
Instead of relying solely on carbon fibre, each spoke combines a carbon outer structure with a high-performance PBO fibre core.
PBO fibre offers a tensile strength more than 10 times greater than conventional carbon fibre, providing an additional layer of protection during extreme impacts or unexpected riding situations.
The result is exceptional lateral stiffness while introducing a level of structural redundancy rarely found in performance wheelsets.
Built Around Strength
At the heart of every PRO PLUS wheelset sits UPVINE's own lightweight hub, manufactured from an ultra-high-strength aluminium alloy developed from the same material family used in advanced aerospace applications.
Key structural performance includes:
- Spoke hole pull-out strength up to 4900N
- Freehub torque capacity of 180–200Nm
- Successfully completed 60,000-cycle durability testing
- High-precision UPVINE bearings
- Long-life high-performance grease
This delivers exceptional durability while maintaining the responsiveness expected from a premium race wheel.
ConicalSync™ Tangent Engagement
The PRO PLUS uses UPVINE's ConicalSync™ 60T Tangent Engagement System, providing an exceptionally quick 6° engagement angle.
Unlike traditional radial ratchet systems, the tangent tooth profile increases contact area between engagement surfaces by approximately 10%, creating faster engagement, greater torque capacity and improved long-term reliability.
The result is immediate drivetrain response whenever power is applied.
🔊 Sounds as Fast as It Rides
The ConicalSync™ 60T ratchet delivers lightning-fast 6° engagement and one of the most distinctive freehub sounds we've heard.
Loud, crisp and unmistakable—it's guaranteed to turn heads every time you freewheel.
Aerodynamics Developed Through Testing
The PRO PLUS aerodynamic profile wasn't developed by appearance alone.
Building on extensive real-world testing, CFD simulation and validation against wind tunnel data, UPVINE refined the rim profile to deliver efficient aerodynamic performance across a wide range of riding conditions.
Combined with wider internal rim widths and modern tyre profiles, the PRO PLUS balances aerodynamic efficiency with predictable handling and excellent crosswind stability.
DualBalance™ Geometry System
UPVINE's DualBalance™ Geometry System combines carefully engineered hub geometry with a 2:1 rear spoke lacing pattern to optimise spoke bracing angles and balance spoke tension across both sides of the wheel.
This produces a wheel that feels exceptionally stiff during hard efforts while maintaining outstanding long-term durability and stability.

Why We Stock It
At Off The Front, we don't choose products based solely on specifications—we ride them.
Before adding the UPVINE PRO PLUS to our range, we wanted to know how they performed in the real world. After more than 4,000km of personal riding, they've consistently impressed us with their responsiveness, stability and confidence-inspiring ride quality. Whether climbing, descending or sprinting, they simply encourage you to ride harder.
What stood out most wasn't just the engineering on paper. It was how well every element works together. The SafeguardCore™ PBO-Carbon Hybrid spokes, ConicalSync™ hub system and DualBalance™ geometry combine to create a wheelset that feels incredibly direct while remaining composed over rough roads and at high speeds.
And then there's the freehub.
It's one of the best-sounding hubs we've ever ridden—crisp, loud and instantly recognisable. If you like your bike to stand out, the PRO PLUS certainly makes an impression.
For us, this is the standout wheelset in the UPVINE range and the one we'd choose for fast road riding, racing and everyday performance.
