V2 to V3: What Has Changed?

V2 to V3: What Has Changed?

Hi everyone, Doug here—founder and designer behind Hollow Wheel Performance. Creating Hollow Wheels V3 wasn’t easy. It took:

  • 4+ Years of R&D: Testing, failing, and refining every aspect of the design.

  • $100,000+ in Investment: From 3D-printed prototypes to tooling that alone cost $30,000.

  • Custom-Built Test Rigs: I even built my own rolling road machine to simulate extreme conditions—like 40 mph speeds and uphill climbs—to push these wheels to their limits.

Check out the video comparing Hollow Wheels Performance V3 with Hollow Wheels V2: 

Hollow Wheels V2 was a great step forward for me, but I knew I could do more. The feedback from our riders around the world pushed me to improve every detail.
