ROAD
Tailwind carbon road disc rims are praised for their unmatched weight-to-rigidity ratio, making them among the lightest on the market. Tailwind rims are developed using advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques, so each shape is optimized for minimal drag. Additionally, Tailwind rims have different internal widths to provide the optimal rim to tire width ratio, ensuring the lowest rolling resistance, improved grip and increased comfort.
In short:
- Unmatched weight stiffness ratio
- Excellent aerodynamic properties thanks to CFD techniques
- Lightweight design for effortless acceleration
- Optimized tire to rim width ratio for lower rolling resistance, improved grip and increased comfort
- Superior responsiveness and agility
The Road Disc Tailwind range consists of three series of rims that will take your riding experience to new heights:
ULS
