Fully developed and manufactured in-house at Miche, the K1 RD is the flagship of Miche’s Tech Centre. Tested on the most technical World Cup trails and developed in close collaboration with the Wilier-Vittoria MTB Factory Team athletes, this wheel was used by Simone Avondetto to win the 2024 European XCO Championship.

Peak performance and durability are achieved with CeramingSpeed coated oversized bearing, an advanced technology that significantly enhances the lifespan of bearings. This coating ensures minimal wear and tear, even under demanding conditions. The reduced friction not only extends the bearings life but also improves overall efficiency. This results in consistently optimal performance and long-term reliability, making CeramicSpeed coating ideal for high-speed racing.

Compared to the K1-EVO, the stiffness of the K1-RD wheels has been enhanced by 20 percent. This increased stiffness translates into improved handling and responsiveness, particularly during high-speed cornering and technical trail sections. Plus improved impact resistance enhancement makes the wheels more durable and better able to withstand harsh terrain and sudden impacts without compromising their structural integrity.
