Popping a set of Tangente Course G40 tyres gravel tyres on the rim and the wheels really came in to their own. In fact, on test, we were able to hit 85kmh and they didn't once so much give a tiny flutter, event in some gusty wind conditions.Ī low rolling weight and 66point engagement hub teaming, also means these pick up are capable of showing a clean pair of heals in any sprint. The smoother ride delivers an almost blood like connection with your bike, coupled with the broader rim profile, allows for an impressively balanced and confidence inspiring on bike capabilities.
The lower tyre pressure requirement does deliver a softer ride feel, not to be confused with a slower one. The hookless set up does mean you are slightly limited by tyre brand, but you've got to try it before you judge it, as ,on test, we found the ride quality absolutely excellent and one of the best road bike wheels you can currently buy.
These are hookless rims with a 25mm internal width, so need to be run with rubber over 28mm and below 72psi. Zipp's current focus is on making wheels designed to be run with wide, tubeless tyres and at lower pressures.
