SRAM S60 Review

SRAM’s mission statement is ”Tweak. Refine. Tweak. Refine. Leap Ahead’, this determination to continually revitalise and develop past products to create new pioneering products is why every cyclist trusts that they are receiving the best possible product. One of the leading products offered by this legendary manufacturer is the SRAM S60 wheelset, these clincher wheels are one of the best wheelsets created by this manufacturer.

The most impressive design and construction feature of the SRAM S60 wheels is their 60mm UD carbon rims, these rims possess the perfect level of rigidity guaranteeing that they effectively transfer a rider’s power to the road. This rigid carbon design ensures that riders not only pick up fast speeds but also maintain incredible speeds both on the inclines as
well as declines. A unique feature of the SRAM S60 is the aluminium braking surface which has been included on the carbon rims; this specific design feature promises that riders will enjoy responsive and reliable braking in all weather conditions. The carbon centred hubs with straight- pull flanges makes certain that the SRAM S60 wheels are durable and
maintain their rigidity. While the SRAM S60 wheels also feature the same aerodynamic design and technology often only found on more expensive models. This careful aerodynamic spoke design enables the wheels to slice through crosswinds effectively helping riders to maintain incredibly fast speeds.

Our testers were impressed with these wheels, in particular how they effectively converted a riders efforts into high speeds. The only fault our testers could find with these magnificent wheels was their weight, weighing approximately 1,900 grams they aren’t the lightest wheels on the market. However, this additional weight only helps to create stable and durable wheels and didn’t hinder our testers too much when they tackled steep inclines. The is no doubt that these purpose built road wheels combine SRAM’s high quality components with a technologically advanced design to create one of the fastest wheelsets on the market.
