Strengths: Strong, light, fantastic to look at, one of the best rims made (tubular), smooth.
You can have total confidence that once a good glue bond has been made, these will not roll off.Weaknesses: Expensive and not sure about the availability of spokes.Bottom Line: This review is for the tubular non XLR version.
These wheels are Fulcrum's variation on Campagnolo's Hyperon but without the carbon bodied hugs (all the same company).
These wheels are on a completely different playing field, and should be considering their cost. They are perhaps one of the best all round wheels you can buy. Very fast - very strong and yes, you can climb in a cog or two lower than normal. They are great for climbing but also great on the flats.
In a Velonews review last year of the Hyperon's, they were nearly on a par with Zipp 202's for the air cheating abilities.
I use Koolstop yellow carbon pads with Zero Gravity brakes and can tell you they stop!
Favorite Ride: Any where in the Blugrass
