“But if you have deep pockets and want to make the most of your high-end bike,
I cannot think of any other product that offer such a improvement in feel,
giving you bike a new zest for speed, and the Reynolds 27.5AM Carbon Wheelset
has certainly impressed us!”
Under high acceleration from a slow speed to a high speed the 27.5AM’s spin up to speed rapidly and have a distinctly sprightly feeling, they want to skip and dance down the trail.
In fact, I cannot think of a bigger off-the-shelf performance improvement than these super light wheels, coming out of corners the bike snaps back up to speed with eagerness and urgency!
Acceleration is instant and it feels like the power is spinning straight from the crank into the ground, it is hard for your legs to keep up!
With a 31mm rim width they look substantial and confidence inspiring, holding a wide tyre well and giving a massive contact patch.
Beading tubeless tyres is very easy,
This massive strength really comes through on the trail, the wheels are sensitive and accurate, you find they instantly snap onto a new line and hold it tenaciously!
Even when all is getting rowdy and out of control, the wheels track on regardless, sticking to the line that you want them too.
Reliability wise they cannot be faulted, after a winter of abuse they are running true, not just true, if you pop them on a wheel-jig they spin without the slightest hint of a wobble,
and I have not touched the spokes since they came out of the box!
