According to the product specialist
Pros
The wider aerodynamic and lightweight 40mm rim makes these wheels ideal for flat roads and hilly terrain. |
The wheels offer excellent lateral rigidity which makes them feel stable even on high speeds. |
The wheels use a highly reliable hub design with precisely sealed and durable bearings. |
These wheels definitely win the beauty award for their shiny carbon rims and simplicity in decals. |
Due to the rim height of 40mm, the Wind 40C wheels are very versatile; high enough for aerodynamic advantage, but low enough for use on windy roads. |
The sealed industrial bearings in these wheels run smoothly and at the same time are well sealed against water and dirt. |
If you're looking for lighter weight, improved aerodynamics and good braking performance, this is the way to go. |
The wheels are tubeless ready. |
The grey hubs and minimal use of decals both look great on these wheels. |
The cup-cone bearings by Shimano are highly reliable and easy to maintain. |
Cons
The wheels aren't tubeless ready. |
These wheels cannot be made tubeless. |
The carbon braking surface makes this wheel less suitable for long mountain descents with the risk of a blowout or rim deformation. |
The internal rim width is fairly narrow at 15 mm. |
