See the the similarities and differences between the Hyperlight, Ultralight, Light, and Team series, the RCX and GCX series.
In this article, we will explore how rim depth affects ride quality, so you can choose the right one for you.
In this guide, we highlight the similarities and differences between the AR1 and SR1 hubs, as well as 3rd and 4th generation carbon spokes.
Very impressed by the weight 1050g and quality of my GCX52 wheelset I just received. If I have one negative remark, it is how hard it is to mount and remove certain tires. Perhaps Particle could do a blog or list of tires and their difficulties or ease of mounting. On a positive note, because of the mounting difficulties I discovered a new tire that compliments the wheelset and makes the overall package 5 STARS
Ho aspettato un po' prima di esprimere un giudizio complessivo su questi cerchi. In effetti, mi sembrano un buon prodotto, dal peso veramente irrisorio, anche se in pianura, le ruote perdono abbastanza velocemente l'inerzia quando si smette di pedalare proprio a causa del peso contenuto. Comunque vedremo per quanto manterranno invariate le loro caratteristiche di durabilità. Il canale interno da 25 rende le ruote molto confortevoli, io le utilizzo con camere d'aria in TPU, mi trovo veramente bene, nel complesso molto reattive ed adatte soprattutto alla salita.
Di contro mi ha dato fastidio il fatto che le ruote non fossero bilancite ne centrate perfettamente, magari sarò anche esagerato, ma ho dovuto utilizzare un kit di bilanciamento per ridurre lo squilibrio/vibrazioni quando le ruote girano ad alte velocità. Inoltre dall'ordine è passato più di un mese per ricevere la spedizione, che devo dire invece imballata perfettamente, e contenente due raggi di ricambio, valvole tubeless e degli adesivi che avevo chiesto in omaggio.
I bought these for my all-road bike, which felt a little sluggish with its 1,500-gram wheelset, hoping they would make it more responsive. Mission accomplished! They’re about a pound lighter and noticeably stiffer, improving the ride without sacrificing comfort. I’d absolutely buy them again.
Because they have a wide inner width and are lightweight, I use 30C tires to take advantage of their inertia and absorb vibrations. This reduces the strain on my legs and body, giving me more energy left for the final sprint of a race. They’re great wheels.
I have owned Eve, Princeton Carbon Works, Synchros Capital SL and Scope wheels. These wheels are every bit as good as any of those if maybe not even better. They are significantly lighter and half the cost or less. The finish is beautiful and the laser etching is much nicer than decals. Bearings roll better than ceramic speed. I upgraded to the 4th generation spokes for weight reduction but after riding these I agree they absorb a lot of road buzz. And they are fast. Put them on my tarmac 7 and had my fastest time ever on a 27 mile loop I ride a couple times a week. Highly recommend them to anyone at any level of riding!
