I've engineered the Koppenberg DM8 Super Fat Boy road bike wheels to be aero, light, stiff, robust, and durable. You know, all that stuff every high-performance wheel brand lays claim to - some more truthfully, and many more optimistically than others.
But for the DM8 series rim profiles, all of that was simply not enough. Because if you want to go really fast out there in the real world - consistently fast, with supreme comfort and sure-footed grip taken for granted - then it's your tyres that are in fact the key, the best hand-built wheels money can buy is not enough alone!
So my goal with DM8 was to deliver perfect tread profiles with 25mm tyres - arcing smoothly from one edge of the rim to the other, without any need for high pressures nor bulging sidewalls. Because what this means to you, out on your bike is more! More speed, more grip, more comfort, and more safety. And all of this for less effort.
Swapping out your bike's standard skinny wheels - even very expensive, even terribly famous, and even lightest road bike wheels - for any of those I make will transform your ride and your enjoyment along with it. It's the single best bike investment you can make short of a custom frame. (And we make those too!)
I reckon life's too short to ride rubbish boring wheels. I believe that every serious rider deserves to spin on awesome wheels. Not just the pros, not just those who race seriously. And not just those with the biggest bulging wallets - although naturally I'd love to make wheels for you all!
So no matter what kind of rider you are - rich or not so rich, fat or thin, fast or slow, racer or just pottering along - I'm here to help.
Help you to enjoy your bike so much more.
