SYNCROS wheelset 28" Capital 1.0 Aero | 60 mm | SRAM XDR
Just an inexpensive little brother of the Capital SL - no, with the Capital 1.0 you get one of the most capable wheelsets on the market. With it on your road bike, the competition will only see you from behind and will definitely be jealous of the extraordinary look.
The perfectly finished rims are a real eye-catcher. Made from high-quality carbon fibers, they are stable and can withstand even hard impacts. The rim height of 60 mm guarantees excellent streamlining, but still has a certain degree of flexibility and comfort. Nevertheless, they are stiff enough to provide excellent directional stability even on fast descents. In addition to stability and aerodynamics, the cross-section of the rims plays an important role in performance. Syncros opted for a rim flange without hooks. This is reinforced to withstand hard impacts. In addition, the tire fits better on the sidewall, which ensures a perfect seal, especially when riding tubeless. The inner width of the rims is generous. Even wider tires are given a rounded shape and are reliably supported, so you always have a direct ride feel and the best grip.
Syncro's own spokes connect the hubs to the rims. Thanks to their blade shape with a slightly flattened middle section, they offer excellent aerodynamics and also save weight. The double crossing generates a very stiff wheel and makes it very robust. In addition, the straight design eliminates the risk of broken spokes because there is no sensitive bend.
At the center of the wheelset are Syncros hubs, which are based on the reliable DT Swiss 370. With their high-quality bearings adapted to the area of use and an elaborate seal, a long service life and low maintenance requirements are guaranteed. The high rigidity of the body distributes the forces that occur during braking and acceleration evenly, so that no damage is caused by load peaks.
All in all, Syncros has succeeded as always in developing an advanced and lightweight wheelset with an excellent price-performance ratio. You will not only be impressed by it when gliding along quickly on flat terrain, it also has its strengths in hilly terrain or sprinting.
NOTE: Due to the hookless profile, the Syncros Capital wheels are only suitable for use with ETRTO-compliant tubeless tires. However, the corresponding tubeless tires can be ridden on the wheels with a tube without any problems. You can find an overview of all compatible tires for your Syncros hookless wheel here.
