A locking element freewheel comprising an outer race ring (1) and an inner race ring (2) with cylindrical and mutually concentric locking surfaces (7,8) between which tiltably suspended locking elements (5) are guided in a cage (6) wherein the central portion of the locking surfaces (7,8) of the outer race ring (1) or inner race ring (2) has a smaller or larger diameter than the ends thereof. If, due to differing wall thicknesses, the race rings (1,2) have differing rigidity, the edge region of highest rigidity of the locking surfaces (7,8) of the outer race ring (1) and/or inner race ring (2) has a larger or smaller diameter and by such a profiling of the locking surfaces, an overloading at the edges of the locking elements is prevented.
