made specifically for the C2 rim make the Jet 6 better than ever. Theyre more aero, they roll better, corner better, and theyre lighter. Even in crosswinds, the Jet 6 wheels are fast, it takes a strong crosswind to stall them out.
Climbing? Theyre plenty light for climbing. We modeled a rider on our power/drag software to illustrate it. The model rider goes 190lbs total bike and rider weight, and we gave him 275 watts, pointed him into a 9kph headwind. We calculated two sets of numbers, one on 1320g wheelset with the drag characteristics of traditional low profile wheels, and a 300g heavier wheelset with the drag of Jet 6s. The lower drag of the Jets kept our model rider going faster until the grade reached 7.5%. Unless your race is all uphill in the mountains, Jets are going to get you to the finish faster.
