While Easton recently purchased Velomax, I don't think those are Velomax wheels. I believe they're the new nanotube carbon fibre wheelsets. They're probably the most advanced carbon fibre wheels developed yet. They use multiwall nanotube carbon fibre. NTCF can be made 5-10 times lighter while at the same time offering as much as 5-10 times the strength of standard grade CF.
Code:
Graphite Crystal = Diamond
CF Std. = Typical standard carbon fibre
MWNT = Multi-Wall Nano-Tubes
SWNT = Single-Wall Nano-Tubes
Graph CF MWNT SWNT Steel
Crystal Std.
