US Source for Duke rims?

I’m quite interested in their DUKE RIM BACCARA X 48 SLR2. It’s 23 internal and seemingly light with a 120kg weight limit.

I’m currently running cheap Chinese carbon wavy rims laced to onyx hubs… I don’t know if I even want to weigh them, feel great but I imagine I can do better. I built them up as my first wheelset to see if I could using old mountain hubs and cheap rims from AliExpress. Turned out well, and I think I’m ready to go in on a better wheelset.

Is there a US source for duke rims out there? Every single shop online seems to restrict shipping to the US…

I’m the distributor for Duke for North America.

Thanks for your interest for Duke wheels, unfortunately the aluminum rims are not distributed in North America, only the carbon ones, because the shipping price and other fees will make the rims too expensive to be competitive.
But we for exemple the Baccara 36mm carbon for rim brake who would be a great option.

Let me know if you have more question or interest.

Thanks and have a nice day!
