Performance & Use-Case Comparisons

FAQs

• Is this wheelset suitable for riders under 100kg?
  Yes, maximum rider weight is 100kg. Rim and spoke tension tolerances have been validated in-house and through third-party fatigue testing.
• Are Sapim CX-Ray spokes worth it?
  Yes, they provide higher fatigue resistance and lower aerodynamic drag, confirmed by independent lab data and consistent industry use in pro-level builds.
• How does this stack up for racing versus training?
  At 1290g, it is optimized for competition, balancing low rotational mass with proven reliability. While tubular installation may require more maintenance, it remains the preferred choice in top-tier racing for weight and ride feel.
• Is the wheelset UCI compliant?
  Yes, the design and dimensions meet current UCI regulatory standards for use in sanctioned events.

Note: Carbon tubulars may require specific tire gluing procedures and routine inspection of rim brake track for optimal safety during extended descents.
