new BL 60 Road represents a performance opportunity completely new for cyclists looking to reach new levels of performance. With these wheels you will no longer have to choose between aerodynamic performance and safety, greater speed or lighter weight. Reynolds 60 mm, offering the best aerodynamics, stability and safety in a lightweight construction, they can be used, without compromise, in a wide range of conditions.
Aerodynamic concept
Reynolds' engineering department created a wheel that is not so specific to a single discipline, but stable enough to provide extreme performance benefits in a wider range of conditions. In other words, they decided to develop and build a premium wheel whose profile gives the best aerodynamic performance in its class and that could be driven safely, with greater control in more conditions. The fruit of their labor comes in the form of the all-new Reynolds 60mm road wheelset.
The BL60s adopt the RAV philosophy, with which all Reynolds roadworthy products are developed. Using advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) validated by wind tunnel and real-world testing, All wheels are developed to optimize overall aerodynamic efficiency. The Reynolds BL60's DET 2 profile makes it one of the fastest and most stable wheels on the market at the depth of its rim and as such creates the faster, more stable and more complete cycling unit.
Different structure
In the pursuit of aerodynamic performance a secondary disadvantage has traditionally been found in the form of additional weight associated with deeper rim profilesThe sophisticated Reynolds CR6 laminate design and the improved resin system reduces rim weight while maintaining durability and power transfer.
Taking into account the aerodynamic performance of the profile, Reynolds 60mm rims provide an aerodynamic advantage generally associated with deeper rims. This translates into further weight savings considering how much such a wheel “should” weigh. Between a sophisticated lightweight construction and a meticulously designed aerodynamic profile that acts as if it were much deeper, The new BL60s offer superior performance. The development was not limited to creating an aerodynamic and lightweight rim but a great attention to making it resistant.
Technical features
A rigid and efficient structure combined with equally efficient hubs makes this wheelset a reference regarding power transfer. Mating the torsionally resistant 60mm Reynolds rim to the Reynolds road hubs/Industry 9 Blacklabel Torch, not only is power transferred more efficiently, but the instant engagement of the hub internals allows for acceleration in any situation.
While attention to the rigidity of the unit makes for more efficient driving, the 21mm hooked tubeless channel provides additional efficiency as well as comfortThe wider tubeless channel is designed to offer superior tire fit and compatibility to contemporary tire designs. This compatibility gives greater comfort but also lower rolling resistance thanks to larger tyres that operate at lower pressures. The hook design allows for a wider tire pressure range and is compatible with any tire. The three models share the same same construction features and they differ in hubs, weight and aesthetics.
