The Reynolds Cycling Aero 46 DB Wheelset is a future-ready carbon fiber wheelset for those riders among us looking for a top-quality wheelset that isn't going to become obsolete in 6 months. With a tubeless-ready, aerodynamically-optimized carbon fiber rim and disc-brake compatibility, it's a safe bet that the Aero 46 DB Wheelset will be a common sight at start lines across the racing world.
The wheels are built on Reynolds Dispersive Effect Termination (DET) rim design, the 46mm-deep rims start with a NACA shape that most cyclists are familiar with, yet widens it to a maximum width of 28mm. This allows the tire and rim to interface nearly seamlessly, providing reduced turbulence, increased lateral rigidity, and a more comfortable ride over all. This smooths the airflow over the wheel/tire area, allowing it to reattach at the rear of the rim to prevent dead trailing air that can add to drag. However, the DET design does more than improving the rim/tire interface, it also improves crosswind stability and performance, netting aerodynamic gains between 0 – 20° of yaw.
Down below, Reynolds laces the Aero 46 rim to custom hubs from Industry Nine, offering center lock rotor mount compatibility and lightning-fast engagement. 20 front and 24 rear spokes bolster stiffness while keeping the weight as low as possible, allowing these wheels to spin effortlessly.
The Reynolds Cycling AERO 46 DB Wheelset is available For 11-speed Shimano/SRAM drivetrains, or with the SRAM XD 11/12-speed driver.
