We have improved the new Kinesis Racelight Road Bike Wheels 700c by refining the rim profile, sourcing lightweight hubs and lacing them together with Sapim Race double butted Spokes.
The Kinesis Racelight 700 Aluminium Road Bike Wheelset is our four seasons ready rim brake wheelset. It is as at home on your Summer race bike as it is on your Winter hack. These road bike wheels feature an all new custom lightweight tubeless ready rim made from high strength 6061 aluminium with 22mm external width and a 19mm internal width. The rim has an overall depth of 28mm giving you an aerodynamic edge without compromising stability on a blustery Winter training ride. The rim is also pinned and welded making it incredibly strong, and combining this with the 28-hole lacing, it gives you an incredibly strong and durable wheelset. We recommend tyre widths between 23c and 36c.
For durability we have built the Racelight 700 wheel around CNC machined, angled flanged, lightweight hubs. The angled flanges follow the path of the spoke, reducing the stress on the spoke and increasing its lifespan. The Racelight 700 hubs are easily adaptable to Sram XD driver or Campagnolo freehub bodies. Smoothness is everything in a hub and that is why we chose Revo Cream bearings, which as the name suggests, are one of the smoothest and best rolling bearings on the market. We supply the wheels with tubeless tape and valves fitted, so that your wheels are ready to fit, straight from the box
Our hubs and rims are laced together with Sapim Race double butted spokes. Sapim spokes are favoured by wheel builders all over the world, as every spoke is meticulously monitored and checked throughout the entire production process, and this attention to detail ensures all our wheels are evenly tensioned and will stay truer for longer. For the Racelight 700 we have chosen the double butted Sapim Race for their high strength and low weight.
