Sub-900 Gram Weight With Innovative Carbon Fiber / Boron Composite Technology. The World’s Lightest Production Wheelset.

For 2010, Reynolds Cycling reveals the new RZR wheelset, an incredibly innovative Carbon Fiber & Boron wheelset that sets a new standard in bicycle wheel design. See the incredible RZR wheelset and all the great new wheels from Reynolds Cycling at Eurobike & Interbike. The Reynolds RZR wheelset make it’s International debut at the Eurobike show from September 3-5, 2009 at Hall B1, Stand 410 and will make it’s North American debut at the Interbike Show in Las Vegas, Nevada from September 23-25, 2009 at Stand 1753.

Jonathan Geran, Reynolds Cycling’s VP Sales & Marketing, said “True to our goals at Reynolds Cycling of designing and building the most technologically superior wheels on earth, our R&D and Product Development team at Reynolds Cycling has done a fantastic job of bringing the RZR wheel to market”.

As the world’s lightest production wheelset, the RZR will get a lot of attention, but it is not just about the weight. With an innovative Carbon Composite mix of unidirectional, ultra high modulus Carbon Fiber combined with Boron, the Reynolds RZR wheel is incredibly strong. Plus, thanks to our extensive wind tunnel testing, it’s also incredibly fast.

Reynolds Cycling is confident that the new RZR wheelset has set anew standard in cycling wheel design. The weight of the RZR wheel set (both front & rear wheels) is an astonishing sub-900 gram, making it the world’s lightest production wheel set.

Reynolds RZR Technical Information & Specifications:

RZR Wheel Construction: features unidirectional, ultra high modulus 46mm carbon fiber rim with Boron strategically placed through the wheel to enhance performance. Because the RZR Wheel features non-tensioned spokes, our engineering team headed by Paul Lew, Director of Technology and Innovation at Reynolds Cycling, had to start with a clean sheet of paper to develop the completely new rim for the RZR wheel.

RZR Rim Profile: features Reynolds’ patent pending Swirl Lip Generator™ for improved aerodynamics and clean airflow across the rim section.

RZR Spokes: features new, symmetrically shaped airfoil spokes. Designated N.A.C.A.0033 (N.A.C.A. number describes unique airfoil shape), the spoke is a true airfoil, not blade or flat plate. Reynolds Cycling has patented the airfoil spoke shape for cycling wheels that provides the optimal shape for low drag and stiffness.

RZR Hub: features a patent pending Torque Flange™ carbon fiber hub, featuring a unique center flange aligned in the same plane as the wheel. The left and right side spoke arrays have no deflection as torque is applied. In a two-flanged hub design, as torque is applied, the rim is pulled to each side keeping things in perfect alignment.

RZR is the only all carbon wheel with replaceable carbon spokes and is a completely trueable wheel at the time of production. The RZR Freehub is 7000 series alloy.
