DFS VECTOR 40

LIGHTER. FASTER. MORE RESPONSIVE.

The DFS VECTOR 40 is a speed-focused carbon wheelset designed for riders who prioritize low weight, quick acceleration and responsive handling.

With a 40mm deep carbon rim, modern wide internal profile and high-performance carbon construction, VECTOR 40 is built for climbing, racing and fast everyday road riding, while remaining capable on fast gravel.


01. 40MM AERO CARBON RIM

The 40mm deep carbon rim provides an efficient balance between aerodynamic performance and low weight.

Compared with deeper aero wheels, the 40mm profile offers responsive handling and quick acceleration, making it especially well suited to climbing and rolling terrain.

  • 40mm rim depth

  • Aerodynamic carbon rim profile

  • Lightweight performance design

  • Optimized for road and fast gravel


02. WIDE INTERNAL PROFILE

The VECTOR 40 features a 24mm internal width, designed around modern wider road and gravel tires.

24MM INTERNAL WIDTH

The wide internal profile provides improved tire support, a stable contact patch and confident handling while maintaining an aerodynamic wheel profile.


03.THREE PERFORMANCE CONFIGURATIONS

VECTOR 40 is available in VECTOR I, VECTOR II and VECTOR II PRO, allowing riders to choose the configuration that best matches their performance goals.

VECTOR I

Weight: 1015g

The lightweight race-oriented configuration featuring the RT240 Hub, offering an excellent balance of low weight, stiffness and responsiveness.

VECTOR II

Weight: 1075g

The versatile configuration featuring the R2 Hub, designed for riders who want a balance of performance, durability and everyday usability.

VECTOR II PRO

Weight: 1015g

A performance-focused configuration using a lighter spoke setup to reduce overall wheel weight and improve acceleration and responsiveness.


04 . BUILT FOR CLIMBING & ACCELERATION

The VECTOR 40 is designed for riders who value the feeling of a quick and responsive wheelset.

Its lower rim depth and lightweight construction help reduce rotational mass, making it easier to accelerate out of corners, attack climbs and respond quickly to changes in pace.

LOW ROTATIONAL WEIGHT
QUICK ACCELERATION
HIGH STIFFNESS
RESPONSIVE HANDLING


05 .AERO PERFORMANCE WITHOUT THE EXTRA DEPTH

A 40mm rim offers aerodynamic benefits while keeping the wheelset lighter and more responsive than deeper aero configurations.

This makes VECTOR 40 an excellent choice for riders who regularly combine:

CLIMBING + FLAT ROADS + FAST DESCENTS

The result is a versatile performance wheelset that doesn't force you to choose between low weight and aerodynamic efficiency.


06.ROAD & FAST GRAVEL

VECTOR 40 is primarily designed for road riding and racing, but its modern wide rim profile also makes it suitable for fast gravel setups.

ROAD
Climbing & Racing & Training & Endurance & Fast Descents

GRAVEL
Fast Gravel & Mixed Surface & Gravel Racing

For rougher gravel conditions or riders requiring a higher-load wheelset, the PULSE / PULSE SOLID series may be a better choice.
