Coming in just under the weight of the venerable Zipp 202 Firecrest Carbon Clinber, the Reynolds Attack is very light. Additionally, Reynolds is very proud of the Cryogenic Glass Transition braking surface that is said to reduce braking temperatures by 100 degrees F.
With a wider, 25mm external diameter, these wheels cater to today’s wider 25mm and 28mm tires and will offer improved ride performance since sidewalls will be straighter. They also feature what they call Radius Hook, that aims to reduce pinch flats.
