  • Wheel component in particular for bicycles
    Patent number: 11766893
    Abstract: A wheel component for sports and racing bicycles with an annular tire and a central tread surface, which in proper use in straight-ahead travel on a plane ground circumferentially makes contact with the surface of the ground, and which opens up a central longitudinal sectional plane. Planar aero elements are configured on the surface of the annular tire, laterally spaced apart from the longitudinal sectional plane. The aero elements are configured as depressions in the surface of the tire and are disposed on the side surfaces and define angular bands rotating on the side surfaces. The surface proportion of the aero elements to the surface of an angular band is larger than 5% and less than 25%.
