According to the product specialist
Pros
| These Zipp wheels will make any bike look better. |
| High aerodynamic advantage due to the 82 mm deep rim. |
| Side winds have a relatively small effect on the wheels because of their rounded shape and ABCL dimples on the rim. |
| All-round deployable 50mm high carbon wheels for rim brakes with a low weight of 1615g. |
| The rim width of 28mm gives a huge aerodynamic advantage and feels stable in the wind. |
| Strong and durable Pilar straight-pull spokes for instant power transfer and less chance of spoke breakage. |
| The set uses semi-ceramic bearings for low rolling resistance and maximum wattage gains. |
| The internal rim width of 17mm allows riding tyres of 23-33mm. |
| The Campagnolo Bora WTO 45 wheels are of top quality and excel in aerodynamics, weight and stiffness. |
| The AC3 brake rim ensures good braking performance in all conditions comparable to aluminium rims. |
| The 19mm internal rim width makes it possible to ride with outer tubes from 23 to 30 mm. The wide tyres provide more comfort and low rolling resistance. |
| The G3 spoke pattern saves weight by using fewer spokes and provides better power transfer. |
| The 2-Way Fit rim profile allows for both tubeless and folding tyres and inner tubes. |
Cons
-
| The internal rim width of 17mm lags slightly behind the trends but allows 23mm to be fitted. |
| For an even more aerodynamic set, you should take a look at the Campagnolo Bora WTO 60 wheels. |
| The carbon braking surface makes this wheel less suitable for long mountain descents with the risk of a blowout or rim deformation. |
