Official Wheel Partner
Wheelworks, Te Aro, Wellington. Backing the NZHCS nationwide.
Wheelworks is known for wheels built properly. Every set is built to order in their Te Aro workshop, with spokes measured and cut for the wheel they go into. That level of quality normally comes at a premium. The R25 Carbon changes that, bringing Wheelworks quality in under what the market charges for wheels of this standard.
Tristan was running the Wellington Hill Climb Series with pen and paper long before TORQ came along. It's what inspired the NZHCS, so it's great to have Wheelworks behind the whole series now.

R25 Carbon
Grams per dollar is hard to argue with. A 1,073g carbon wheelset for $2,750 undercuts the big brands at the same weight. On top of that you get the build quality Wheelworks is known for, and a lifetime warranty handled here in NZ instead of shipped offshore.
