We found a very special feature in the Airstreeem Carbon Aero 50, which gives this wheelset its very own signature. The rear wheel rim is constructed asymmetrically, enabling even spoke tension on the drive and non-drive side and increasing rigidity throughout the wheel. This innovative and patented rim construction also has no negative effects on braking performance.
Braking performance drops when it is wet, just like with other carbon wheels. However, you never lose the feeling of having complete control over the bike. The spoke mounts at the front and rear have been narrowed, reducing the spoke triangles and improving stiffness and aerodynamics. As a special extra, the color of the rim layout can be individually selected for a hefty surcharge of €140. The slight lateral play that the wheelset had had a negative effect in the test.
