The rear FLO 90 Aluminum + Carbon is one of the most versatile rear wheel for triathletes and time trialists. It's a very aerodynamic race wheel that gets even faster with a wheel cover. Athletes looking for an even faster rear wheel, should consider our Aluminum + Carbon FLO DISC. If you are are looking for a lighter and/or faster option, consider our Carbon Clincher FLO 90 or FLO DISC.
The rear FLO 90 Aluminum + Carbon makes an excellent rear wheel for crits and stages races because it is very aerodynamic. Those looking for a shallower option, may consider our Aluminum + Carbon FLO 60. If you are racing on a budget, you should consider our Aluminum FLO 30. If you are looking for a faster and/or lighter wheel, consider our Carbon Clincher FLO 45, FLO 60, or FLO 90.

"What a story they are telling with these wheels. The design process was, as far as I can see, the most comprehensive and advanced this industry has ever seen, bar none."
"When you look closely at the data and run these new wheels through the models, they are aerodynamically as sound than anything created by the big players in the industry. What sets FLO apart is that their wheels come in at half the price without sacrificing performance."
"When a company tells you their new product is 2-3% faster than their original, you take notice. When FLO tells us that their new FLO 60 Carbon Clincher is 22.20% faster than their previous model, you shut up and ask whom to make the check out to."
