According to the product specialist
Pros
The Mantel R50 TLR wheelset is light (1540 grams) and aerodynamic, and competes with many popular wheel brands. |
Aerodynamics tests have revealed that the Mantel R50D wheels are more aerodynamic than the widely used 2019 Zipp Firecrest Carbon 303. |
Sleek looks on any road or cyclocross bike with its subtle and neutral sticker design that can be matched with any frame colour. |
Straight pull spokes for optimal stiffness and a reduced risk of spoke breakage. |
Internal spoke nipples for optimised aerodynamics. |
Fitted with a wider rim than the previous version, meaning 25 mm tyres now sit nicely on the rim. |
The wider U-shape is more aerodynamic than the V-shape of the previous model. |
One of the few deep section rims with an aluminium brake track. |
Affordable carbon wheelset by Zipp. |
They make any bike look even better. |
Cons
The carbon braking surface makes this wheel less suitable for long mountain descents with the risk of a blowout or rim deformation. |
Not convertible to Sram XDR or Campagnolo from 2023 onwards. |
