Reserve Wheels Turbulent Aero

The mixed-profile setup uses a shallower 77mm front rim to improve handling and stability in crosswinds, while the deeper 88mm rear rim maximizes aerodynamic efficiency. This combination gives you the speed benefits of a deep-section wheelset without making the bike difficult to control in gusty conditions.

While they are optimized for time trials and triathlons, they can be used for road racing if the course is relatively flat and fast. However, due to the deep rim profiles, they may be challenging to handle on technical descents or in extremely high winds compared to a standard road wheelset.

Yes, the asymmetrical construction allows for more balanced spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides. This results in a stiffer, more durable wheel that resists lateral flex, which helps with power transfer when you are putting down high wattage.

These wheels are tubeless-ready, meaning you can run them with tubeless tires for better puncture protection and lower rolling resistance. However, they are also fully compatible with standard clincher tires and tubes if you prefer a traditional setup.

The DT 240 hubs are widely regarded for their reliability and ease of service. They feature a simple design that makes it straightforward to clean and grease the star ratchet system, which is something most home mechanics can handle with basic tools.

Yes, this wheelset is designed specifically for Centerlock disc brake systems. Ensure your frame and fork are compatible with 12x100mm front and 12x142mm rear thru-axles before purchasing.
