New for 2009, this is Torelli's lisghtest wheelset to date at 1,380 grams! The friction in the hubs is reduced with the latest technology using ceramic hybrid bearings. This wheelset also adresses the issue of rotational mass. The #1 question that most people ask about a wheelset is : How much do they weigh?”. This is a valid question however more importantly is how much do the RIMS weigh?”. Remember the further away something is from its rotational axis the more it will “weigh” at speed. Yes, physics play such a crucial role in performance of any wheel. That’s why Torelli took a good look at the components of their Bormio wheelsets to make a versatile climbing wheelset that will climb with the best of them and give you great braking performance for the descents. Torelli is using a superlight 380gram alloy rim for this wheelset. They have added a lighter and more aero spoke to help reduce wind drag and rotating weight even further. Please don’t be fooled by total wheelset weights. Hubs and spokes make a minute difference to the weight that can be saved from the outside of your wheels. Weight of pair, 1,380 grams. Front wheel: 20 spokes radial, rear wheel: 24 spokes, with the drive side cross 2 and non-drive radial. Recommend max rider weight is 180lbs.
