Reynolds R2 Carbon Clincher Wheelset Shimano

Believe it! We didn't think it was possible, but Reynolds has built a carbon clincher wheelset under 1500 grams for only $1000. The Reynolds R2 Carbon Clincher wheels are a first in an industry flooded with cookie cutter carbon look alike wheels. The R2 has a special rim designed just for this wheelset. Through careful engineering and manufacturing, Reynolds was able to get the rim weight down to just 410 grams. When you add in the low spoke count and lightweight hubs, the Reynolds R2 wheels come in at a very impressive 1462 grams. 

Reynolds was one of the first to manufacture carbon clincher rims so they have lots of experience with the braking surface issues that often plague carbon clinchers. Reynolds supplies the R2 with their own Cryo-Blue brake pads and uses their CTg laminate on the rim brake track to effectively remove heat from the rims. When using the Cryo-Blue pads, you'll enjoy linear stopping forces and zero pulsing from the R2 wheels. Best of all, the Reynolds R2 wheelset comes with a 2 year warranty and is eligible for Reynolds Assurance Program which is a no questions asked replacement program. With this much technology, the Reynolds R2 wheelset is truly in a class of its own.
