What it means for your ride

Whether youre attacking a gran fondo, putting in training miles or just wanting a smoother, snappier ride, this wheelset elevates your experience.

Pro tip for setup
Ensure your tyres are tubeless-ready (or optionally use inner tubes if preferred). Follow the manufacturers torque and wheel-build specifications if using rim-only builds. Once installed, check spoke tension, balance the build, and top up sealant if running tubeless. Allow a few spins and short rides to confirm the ride feel and settle the wheels-in before heading into major events or rides.
