The Alpha 40 II Disc is upgraded on the rims. The upgraded U/V rim profile combines the aerodynamic stability of a U-shape with the wind-cutting efficiency of a V-shape, delivering reduced drag and better performance in crosswinds. This design also enhances lateral stiffness for improved power transfer during sprints and climbs, while offering smoother tire-to-rim transitions for better handling, comfort, and versatility across varied terrains. This model is the perfect affordable wheelset for those seeking a high performance ride.
