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. |
| The focus of the Shimano Ultegra R8170 C60 Disc wheels is on maximum speed and rigidity. |
| The wheels have wide 21 mm tubeless rims for comfort, and can accommodate tyres with a width of 28 mm or wider. |
| With unparalleled handling and steering, and super high wind resistance, these wheels feel as if they're one with your bike. |
| The cup & cone bearing system requires little maintenance to be very durable. |
| As these wheels are tubeless compatible, the risk of a flat tyre is minimised when you ride with tubeless tyres and latex. |
| The Shimano Ultegra R8170 C50 wheels are lightweight, reliable and fast! |
| With a weight of 1562 grams, this wheelset is one of the more lightweight ones available. |
| Comfort is achieved by a wide, 21 mm tubeless rim. It's suitable for tyres with a width of 28 mm or more. |
| The wheels are also tubeless compatible. Riding tubeless with latex reduces the risk of punctures. |
| Unparalleled handling in terms of steering, and the sensitivity to wind is very low. The wheels feel like one with the bike. |
| The high lateral stiffness and the 55 mm aerodynamic rims make the S5 ideal for high-speed riding on flat terrain. |
| Thanks to the pre-installed tubeless rim tape, making the wheels tubeless is an easy job. Tubeless riding increases comfort and puncture resistance, and decreases rolling resistance. |
| With Scope wheels, you get a lot of security: an extended warranty period of 3 years and a lifetime crash replacement programme! |
| Scope wheels are developed in the Netherlands in collaboration with Schwalbe, SKF and the Universities of Technology at Eindhoven and Delft, so their high quality is guaranteed. |
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. |
| The weight is a fraction higher than that of the Shimano Ultegra R8170 C50 Disc wheels. |
| The Dura Ace 9170 C50 wheels take another 100 grams off the wheels, for the real weightweenies. It's bearing quality is also one more step better. |
| The Scope S5 wheels do not come with wheel bags. |
