This wheel model is not in stock at the moment, but you can still order with a lead time of 4 weeks.
 
The culmination of 7 years aero and rolling resistance testing wheels on indoor velodromes, validating the findings through real world race results has lead to this: The Ward Tubeless Clincher Track Disc wheel.

This is the ultimate performance level track rear wheel in the Ward Performance Wheel lineup.
 
The Clincher tyre format has been the basis of all Ward Performance Wheels ever, due to the performance benefits evident through our in-house testing. However, only now is the rest of track cycling catching up. Clincher race wheels are fast taking over the arena of track cycling, with many of the recent major Championship titles and World Records being set by riders using clincher tyres.
 
Track Cycling World Records set using clincher tyres:
UCI Hour Record - Men
Individual Pursuit - Men
Individual Pursuit - Women
Team Pursuit - Women
Team Sprint - Women
 
UCI Track Cycling World Championships won using clincher tyres:
Individual Pursuit - Men
Individual Pursuit - Women
Team Pursuit - Men
Team Pursuit - Women
Team Sprint - Women
Madison - Men
 
Ward Tubeless Clincher Track Disc wheels feature an aerodynamically efficient shape, which is crucial for maximising speed during high speed track cycling events.
 
The wheel geometry, combined with the construction, provides a super stiff yet ultra light weight and low inertia wheel.
 
Wide rim width allows the aerodynamically efficient use of wider tyres than have previously been defacto in track cycling. This yields benefits such as: decreased rolling resistance, improved comfort, and increased grip. The rim section geometry of this wheel perfectly suits the lowest rolling resistance 23-26 mm clincher tyres available.
 
All together, this yields a truly top performance track bike wheel, proven by real world results:
 
This wheel has been ridden to victory and the National Championship Title at the 2025 British Cycling National Track Championships in the Women's Scratch Race, Women's Individual Pursuit and Men's Points Race. Also in the 2024 British Cycling National Madison Championships, as well as a UCI Class 2 Scratch race and a UCI Track Champions League Elimination Race.
 
Note: It is important to use the recommended tyres in conjunction with this wheel for optimum performance.
 
Constructed from strong premium grade carbon fibre, these wheels are robust and resilient too, unlike some other brands which use fragile tambourine skin style sides, plastic or thin carbon covers.
 
This wheel is equally at home on indoor and outdoor velodromes, with perhaps a quick swap of the tyre, which is both faster and more convenient due to the clincher tyre format.
 
Carbon rim is rated to maximum inflation pressure of 120 psi. This may sound low for indoor velodrome use, but the clincher tyres suited to this wheel provide a larger air volume than typical track tubs, which reduces the optimum inflation pressure.

Also available as a front wheel. 12 mm thru axle, 100 x 9 mm QR or M6 bolt-on compatible.
