According to the product specialist
Pros
| Thanks to the rim height of 55mm, the Wind 55 DB wheels give you a great aerodynamic advantage over lower wheel sets. |
| It is possible to fit tyres from 25mm up to 50mm. This makes the Wind 55 DB wheels suitable for both road and gravel bikes. |
| Thanks to the Fulcrum 2-Way Fit technology it is possible to mount both clincher and tubeless tyres. |
| The sealed industrial bearings in these wheels spin smoothly while being well sealed against water and dirt at the same time. |
| The great looks of these wheels will make you the centre of attention with your cycling buddies. |
| Thanks to the aerodynamic 57 mm rim and a weight of 1675 grams, the R5 Disc wheels are ideal for fast rides on the flat. |
| Thanks to the Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics technology, the rim is optimised to achieve the optimal and most aerodynamic rim profile. |
| The Diamond Ratchet Body system is extremely light and ensures that the power delivered is transferred to the wheel even faster. |
| Riding tubeless has many advantages: more comfort, lower rolling resistance and better puncture resistance. |
| Scope wheels are developed in the Netherlands in cooperation with Schwalbe, SKF, TU Eindhoven and TU Delft, so high quality is guaranteed. |
| Carbon wheelset with a 50 mm rim height and an impressively low weight of 1300 grams! |
| With a 31 mm outer rim width and a 23 mm inner rim width, these wheels are perfect to fit today's wide tyres. |
| This all-round wheelset performs well in the mountains but is also very efficient at high speeds thanks to extensive testing at the Silverstone Engineering Hub. |
| The carbon spokes further reduce weight and optimise power transfer. |
| The hubs are machined to 0.02 mm tolerances, ensuring that the ceramic bearings have less resistance and last longer. |
| This is Elitewheels' most aerodynamic wheelset. It retains its stability in windy conditions and weighs only 1490 grams! |
| Its 55-65 mm rim profile retains the rigidity of a high rim and combines it with the wind stability of a low rim. |
| The wheels are optimised for 28-30 mm tyres to minimise rolling resistance and air resistance. |
| The Surface hubs have steel bearings. Thanks to their 0.02 mm tolerances, they get close to the rolling resistance and durability of ceramic bearings. |
| The Star Ratchet system engages quickly and results in immediate power transfer. |
Cons
| The Wind 55 DB wheels are less universal than its ‘little brother’ Wind 40 DB due to the deeper rim. |
| Only available with AFS Centerlock discs. If you ride with 6-hole brake discs, you will need to purchase Centerlock discs. |
| No wheel bags or brake discs are included when buying a wheelset. |
| A body for Sram XDR, Campagnolo or Campagnolo N3W is available separately. |
| Carbon spokes are slightly more fragile in case of an impact but the set includes four spare spokes! |
| Stainless steel spokes are relatively heavy, but they do provide these wheels with extra lateral rigidity. |
