Velocity was founded in Australia in 1989. The company first product which is the adjustable aluminium water bottle cage called the 'Velocage' which was very popular and propelled the company to United States. The company offered its first aluminium rim in 1991 and has went on to produced several numerous quality rims In 1991 Velocity introduced our first aluminum rim, the Aero. 33 years later, they created a new version featuring all the design enhancements we've developed along the way. Additionally, the Aero utilizes a new and stronger advanced aluminum alloy. This rim is a nod to the history of their company, and they’ve chosen to name our first new rim using this alloy after the rim that started it all. 6069 alloy offers improved resistance to denting and fatigue damage. Riders who are tough on wheels will enjoy greater impact resistance; those who pile on miles can expect a longer service life compared to traditional 6061 or 6063 alloy. The Aero is a disc-only road, gravel, commuter, and even tandem ready model built for tires 28-53mm wide. It's lightweight, yet still remarkably durable, designed after our well-loved Aileron. The Aero features an elliptical profile designed with aerodynamics and strength as key factors. With a 23mm internal width this rim will give riders a nice contact point for better traction. The Aero has the same ERD as the Aileron, making rim swaps with the Aileron easy if current riders would like to make the switch.
