According to the product specialist
Pros
The ideal choice if you are not familiar with carbon wheels: thanks to the 30 day money back guarantee you can try them out without any obligation. |
Thanks to the aluminium braking edges on these carbon wheels you always have good braking power, even in wet weather. |
The aerodynamic U-shaped rims are not wind sensitive and will keep your bike up to speed more easily. |
These wheels do not have a maximum rider weight, so they can take a beating and handle heavier or stronger riders well. |
Tubeless Ready (TLR) rims allow for quick conversion to a tubeless setup. If you do get a puncture, the hole is immediately filled by the latex in the tyre. |
With the Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty Program ensures a secure feeling that you can rely on help when your wheels get damaged. |
D3 Dual Directional Design rim profile reduces air resistance around the tyre and rim. |
Tubeless Ready (TLR) rims allow for quick conversion to a tubeless setup. |
With the Bontrager Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty Program, you get a lifetime warranty and free repair/replacement in case of a crash or damage within 2 years of purchase. Ultimate security! |
Super stiff wheelset. |
The Racing 3 has been labelled as the wheel with the best value for money for years now. |
These wheels can be used all-round due to their low weight, good spoke tension and wider rims. |
Reliable well sealed and adjustable bearings that ensure good performance for a long time. |
The wheels look good on almost any road bike. |
Multi-purpose: from training to racing, for hilly areas to flat roads. |
Cons
Not a full carbon wheel, but rather an aluminium wheel with a carbon cover to enhance the aerodynamics. |
No conspicuous decals, which, in many cases, may even be a pro. |
The carbon braking surface makes this wheel less suitable for long mountain descents with the risk of a blowout or rim deformation. |
The only thing these wheels lack are good aerodynamics. |
Not compatible with tubeless tyres. |
