A disc wheel is a solid wheel, usually carbon fibre, and usually rear (honeycomb style design) that is more aerodynamic than spoked wheel.  It is used for time trials and triathlons.  The braver variety of rider use a front disc, which is a handful to control in a wind due to the inablility for wind to pass through it.
