The Black Inc Forty Five Wheelset pairs a 45mm carbon rim with a tubeless-ready, disc-only platform built around CeramicSpeed bearings and straight-pull spokes. At a claimed 1,489g for the set, it carries aerodynamic depth without the weight of a dedicated climbing or aero wheel, and the 21mm internal rim width suits modern 25-28mm road tires. It's a do-it-all road wheelset for riders moving between long training days, hilly fondos, and flat-out race pace on a single set of wheels.

Black Inc FORTY FIVE Wheelset

$2,299.99 CAD ~~$3,000.00 CAD~~

Perfect For

Riders who want one carbon road wheelset capable of handling long training rides, hilly fondos, and race day without switching between a climbing wheel and an aero wheel.

Features

45mm carbon rim profile: The rim depth balances aerodynamic efficiency with handling that stays composed when the wind picks up.
CeramicSpeed hub bearings: Custom-built CeramicSpeed bearings in the Black Inc hubs reduce rolling resistance to help maintain speed over long rides.
Tubeless-ready, hooked rim: The 21mm internal and 27mm external rim width is optimized for 25-28mm tires and supports tubeless setup for lower pressures and fewer flats.
Straight-pull aero spokes: CX-SPRINT and CX-RAY aero-butted spokes laced 3-cross with internal alloy nipples give the wheels a stiff, durable build.
Center Lock disc mount: A disc-only hub design with Center Lock rotor mounting keeps braking performance consistent across conditions.
Flexible drivetrain fit: Available with an HG freehub for Shimano and SRAM 11-speed or an XDR freehub for SRAM 12-speed, so the wheelset matches a range of drivetrains.

Why we like the Black Inc FORTY FIVE Wheelset

Straight-pull front hub

The front hub shows the straight-pull spoke lacing and CeramicSpeed bearing internals that keep rolling resistance low. It's a clean, purposeful build with no wasted hardware.

Rear hub and disc mount

The rear hub carries the Center Lock disc mount and thru-axle interface, built specifically around disc brake forces rather than adapted from a rim-brake design.

Rim bead hook and brake track

A close look at the rim shows the hooked bead profile that supports tubeless and clincher tires alike, with a carbon layup aimed at a strong strength-to-weight ratio.
