Faster Than a Speeding Bullet
Introducing the A5. Born and crafted in an aerodynamics lab, the A5 comes in at 54.5mm deep, but offers a virtual depth of 67mm by utilizing Kamm Tail Technology.
You can visualize the Kamm Tail effect by imagining a tear drop shaped aerofoil with a small portion of the tail end removed. Up to a certain point, the flow will still act as though the tear drop shape is complete without going turbulent. What that means in the real world is you can have the aero benefits of a 67mm deep wheel, while still maintaining a lower profile to maintain stability in cross wind. That means that the A5 is a great option for a do-all wheelset.
They are as happy in the weekend crit as they are in a time trial or road race.
We improved braking performance by using resins that are some of the highest temperature rated in the industry. The A5 is built with Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes, laced into our Tempest straight pull hub using a 2:1 pattern that increases lateral stiffness without additional material.Related Items

At first blush, you might be inclined to compare Mercury's M3 Carbon Clincher Wheelset to other manufacturers' pure climbing wheels. And you'd be right to do so, at least when it comes to climbing. But these aren't just a one-trick pony. The M3s' aerodynamic pedigree, low weight, and brute strength also recommend them for all the ups, downs, and flat-outs of competitive cycling. They cover the demands of every terrain on every day of your cycling life.
The rims measure 38 millimeters, a depth that strikes an all-purpose middle ground between straight-on aerodynamics, hiding from crosswinds, and considerations of weight for climbing. The M3 is a solid 24mm wide, which means you can run lower PSI for a more comfortable ride that corners with unparalleled confidence. Wider rims also have some counter-intuitive effects when compared to those standard 19 millimeter rims: they actually decrease rolling resistance and increase aerodynamics.

M5C - Disc Race Edition
$1,499.00
The M5's have seen countless podium finishes on varying courses. They are light enough to handle the steepest of climbs yet provide you with a nice braking performance due to the newly developed brake track. They are deep enough to provide you with an “unfair” aerodynamic advantage on the flats. Bottom line, the M5’s will bring you to the line alone. It is up to you to decide how to celebrate the win.
The M5s' construction is informed by the Dual Carbon Layer Process, or DLP. Mercury blends high- and mid-moduli carbon fibers to straddle the best balance between the lightweight and stiffness of the former and the fatigue-resistance and durability of the latter.
The M5 is a solid 24mm wide, which means you can run lower PSI for a more comfortable ride that corners with unparalleled confidence.
