About the Brand
In Piston Racing Wheels, our main focus is to provide hand-built wheels with exceptional quality for discerning pro & hobby cyclists alike. Since 2007 we have been building wheels with profound product knowledge, and ultimately offers a selection of superior carbon rims to the market.
With Order-To-Build concept, prior consultation will be conducted in order to customize specifications to optimize cyclist's performance. From selecting appropriate type of spokes, nipples and hubs, we are meticulous about minute details, ensuring the finished product meets, if not exceeds expectations.
Being a perfectionist, we treat every parts of the wheels equally important. Every component on the wheel has it's part to play. Not forgetting the spoke tension, the most important part during the wheelbuilding. In short, wheelbuilding is our passion.
All Piston Racing components went through intensive factory tests as well as rider tests. We have a dedicated testing team consist of pro & avid cyclists. With constant feedback, painstaking efforts to create the "Perfect" products are actualized before introducing to end users.
“Wheelbuilding is an Art, every components on it has it's own character and behave differently. It is us who is going to understand and make it perfect.”

“My legs are my pistons!” it all started from this phrase.
I used to be a heavy vehicle mechanic and love how the engine is made. Every components on it need to be very precise, “perfect” is the word. When I look at how the pistons work in the engine, it look like our legs. Transmitting the power to the crank to move the vehicle, in our case, bicycle. Precision, measurements and torque must be right which is the same as how we balance the wheels with the correct spoke tension. Stiffness, minimum to no power loss. Durability, the pistons are able to withstand multiple combustion and show very little wear after a long time, so we building a wheels which will last.
Precise, Stiff and Durable are Piston Racing Wheels.
