According to the product specialist
Pros
Brake fantastically and even better than ordinary aluminium rims, even in steep descents. |
Aerodynamic wheelset with wide comfortable rims. |
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 wheels are tubeless ready. |
The grey hubs and minimal use of decals both look great on these wheels. |
The cup-cone bearings by Shimano are highly reliable and easy to maintain. |
Cons
The Exalith braking surface makes more noise when braking than a regular aluminium rim. |
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 is fairly narrow at 15 mm. |
