According to the product specialist
Pros
| The Zipp 404 wheels are oriented towards pure speed due to the 58 mm high rim. Thanks to optimum aerodynamics, you can ride faster without having to put in more effort. |
| The Zipp ZR1 hubs, developed in Germany, have bearings with a good seal and improved durability. The 6 pawl body engages super fast so minimal energy is lost when starting. |
| Lifelong warranty on production faults, except for wear and tear. Ultimate security! |
| Equipped with ABLC Dimples for more wind stability while riding. |
| 28 mm tubeless tyres fit perfectly on this hookless rim. |
| Carbon wheelset with a 50 mm rim height and an impressively low weight of 1300 grams! |
| With a 31 mm outer rim width and a 23 mm inner rim width, these wheels are perfect to fit today's wide tyres. |
| This all-round wheelset performs well in the mountains but is also very efficient at high speeds thanks to extensive testing at the Silverstone Engineering Hub. |
| The carbon spokes further reduce weight and optimise power transfer. |
| The hubs are machined to 0.02 mm tolerances, ensuring that the ceramic bearings have less resistance and last longer. |
| 1750 grams for a set, 65 mm high NACA aerodynamic rims, and lightweight Infinity hubs; all these elements added up ensure excellent power transfer. |
| The 19 mm wide rims allow for 25 to 32 mm tyres. Wider tyres increase comfort and reduce rolling resistance. |
| The Instant Drive 360 body has a 9 degree engagement, which means that the wheels respond instantly when you press down on the pedals. |
| The UST tubeless system involves a tight union between rim and tyre to keep the tyre at the right pressure without the use of latex. The tyre can even be inflated with a regular bike pump. |
| If you register the wheels on the Mavic website, the manufacturer's warranty is extended from 2 years to 3 years. |
| These wheels are very fast and aerodynamic thanks to the 50 mm high Bontrager D3 profile. |
| These wheels have a good price/quality ratio. |
| These Bontrager wheels are tubeless-ready. In no time you can ride without an inner tube, which improves the weight, grip, rolling resistance and puncture resistance. |
| The Aeolus Pro wheels have no weight limit and come with a lifetime warranty for the original buyer. |
Cons
| The Sapim CX Sprint J-bend spokes provide more comfort than straight pull spokes, but give less stiffness to the wheel. |
| Only the following tyres can be fitted to these hookless rims with an internal rim width of 23 mm: Click here. |
| Carbon spokes are slightly more fragile in case of an impact but the set includes four spare spokes! |
| 65 mm high rims are less manoeuvrable and more affected by wind than lower rims. |
| At 1750 grams these wheels are slightly heavier than high-end aerodynamic wheels. |
