According to the product specialist
Pros
The Mantel R50D TLR wheelset is light (1655 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, gravel 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. |
Weighing 1352 grams, the 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc Brake can rightly be called a lightweight. Climbing and sprinting have never been so easy! |
Zipp's "Tubeless Made Easy" system allows you to make the wheels tubeless in no time, even without using a compressor. |
With an internal rim width of 25mm, 28mm tyres fit perfectly, with maximum aerodynamic benefits, high comfort and low rolling resistance. |
The Zipp ZR1 hubs, developed in Germany, have bearings with a good seal and improved durability. The 6 pawl body engages super fast, minimising energy loss when starting. |
Lifelong warranty on production faults, except for wear and tear. Ultimate security! |
All-round thanks to the light (1590 grams) and aerodynamic 40 mm high rims. |
Equipped with low maintenance industrial sealed bearings that keep out water, sand and dirt. |
Vision wheels are completely handmade and have self-locking spoke nipples. Perfect spoke tension guaranteed. |
Cons
Cannot be converted to Quick Release. |
Not convertible to Sram XDR or Campagnolo from 2023 onwards. |
The Sapim J-bend spokes provide more comfort than straight pull spokes, but give less stiffness to the wheel. |
The Zipp 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc Brake is only suitable for tubeless (ready) tyres at a maximum tyre pressure of 5 bar, not for normal folding tyres. |
The decals were put on top of the last layer of varnish, instead of underneath. This increases the chance of the decals damaging or coming off. |
