KORE CYCLONE Black 50mm Carbon Spoke Wheelset — 1249g — HG/XDR/MS
KORE CYCLONE Black 50mm Carbon Spoke Wheelset — 1249g — HG/XDR/MS
KORE CYCLONE Black – Stealth 50mm Carbon Spoke Wheelset
Same carbon spoke construction as the original KORE CYCLONE, finished in black-on-black. The logos are there if you look closely, but from a few steps away the wheels simply disappear into the bike – ideal for dark frames, murdered-out builds, or anyone who prefers their kit understated.
At around 1249g per pair, CYCLONE Black keeps the stiff, direct feel of carbon spokes with a 50mm T1000 + T800 carbon rim that's deep enough to hold speed on the flat and light enough to take into the hills.
Built to match any build
Bright graphics can clash with a carefully chosen frame colour. The black finish pairs cleanly with matte, gloss, raw carbon and bold-painted frames alike, so you can upgrade your wheels without redesigning the look of your bike.

CYCLONE or CYCLONE Black?
Choose Black if appearance matters and you want MS compatibility. Choose the standard KORE CYCLONE wheelset if you want the lowest weight (1199g) and a 60T ratchet option.
Browse the full KORE CYCLONE range or pick up replacement carbon spokes if you ever need one.
Is the KORE CYCLONE weight accurate?
The KORE CYCLONE weighs approx. 1199g and the CYCLONE Black approx. 1249g, both ±5% and measured without rim strips. The pre-installed rim strips add roughly 50g per pair.
Will the KORE CYCLONE wheelset fit my bike?
KORE CYCLONE wheels use 100×12mm front / 142×12mm rear thru-axles and Center-Lock disc brakes, and fit 25C–48C tyres. Choose HG or XDR for your cassette (the Black version also offers MS). Not sure? Send us a photo on WhatsApp.
What is the KORE CYCLONE rider weight limit?
The KORE CYCLONE wheelset is rated for a maximum rider weight of 120kg.
Can I replace a single KORE CYCLONE carbon spoke?
Yes. KORE CYCLONE carbon spokes are 3.2mm wide and individually replaceable, so one damaged spoke doesn't mean a new wheel. Replacement CYCLONE spokes are available in our store.
Is the KORE CYCLONE tubeless-ready?
Yes. KORE CYCLONE rims come with rim strips pre-installed that work with both tubeless tyres and standard inner tubes.
KORE CYCLONE or CYCLONE Black – what's the difference?
Both share the same 50mm carbon rim and carbon spokes. The standard KORE CYCLONE is lighter (1199g) with white logos and offers a 60T ratchet option; the CYCLONE Black (1249g) has stealth black logos and offers an MS freehub.
