WDULH-ULTRA-LITE H CUT SPEED WHEEL (2009 MOLD)
Check out some interesting results with regards to rolling friction. Lecture 6- Testing Hodges Wheels
I keep the “H” cut to a minimum to maintain the structural integrity of the tread area. But a little bit goes a long way. The minimized apparent surface contact area makes for a very forgiving and fast wheel.
All of the mold text features are intact and ready for inspection.

This represents a reduction in mass of up to 57.0% and a 65.8% reduction of rotational inertia.
*due to wheel/mold characteristics, values are approximate (+/- 3%) .
This data is for comparison to illustrate the UL Advantage
A cut above the ULS. An “H” Cut to be exact. We have managed to put an “H” cut on these wheels to reduce the apparent contact surface area by more than 80% thus further reducing the weight and thus the Moment of Inertia. The measurable benefit over the smooth cut is the reduction of rolling friction.
NOTE: The “H” cut is very obvious. This type of extreme modification is normally allowed only in open class racing. Make sure your rules allow for this type of modification before you buy. If so, get ready for a fast ride!
