Pros
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 Exalith brake track offers excellent stopping power, even in the rain. |
Comes with a set of decent Mavic tyres as standard. |
The flat, thick spokes give your bike a striking look. |
The Zipp 302 Tubeless Rim Brake wheels have an excellent price/quality ratio; they offer 45 mm deep rims, low weight and aerodynamic Sapim spokes at a very competitive price. |
The rims are compatible both with tubeless and folding tyres. Thus, you can ride tubeless and benefit from low rolling resistance, better grip and more comfort. |
The Zipp 76/176 hubs are reliable and easy to maintain. |
Lifetime warranty for manufacturing defects, except for wear and tear. |
Cons
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 brake pads wear out quicker because of the Exalith. |
Sadly, you can't order the wheels without the tyres if you prefer to use your own tyres. |
While the Sapim CX Sprint J-bend spokes provide more comfort compared to straight-pull spokes, they slightly reduce the wheel's stiffness. |
While 1600 grams is quite light, there are lighter wheelsets in this price range. |
Due to the carbon rim brake structure, these wheels are less suitable for long descents in the mountains, as they may blow or develop rim deformation. |
