According to the product specialist
Pros
Aerodynamically the highest quality available on the market. |
Direct power transmission through the high rims and short spokes. |
Showstopper braking surface; better control and maximum stopping power. |
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 aluminium brake track offers optimal stopping power under all conditions. |
The cup cone bearings are extremely durable and easy to maintain. |
Compared to their predecessors, these wheels have far fewer decals, giving them a cleaner look. |
Cons
The wheels are harder to controle in hard crosswinds. |
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 hasn't been updated, and is fairly narrow at 15 mm. |
