Knight Composites Knight 65 Carbon Fiber Clincher Wheelset (DT Swiss 240)

With a 65mm-deep rim the Knight 65 from Knight Composites steps boldly into the aero wheel arena and stakes its claim in a hotly contested category. The rims utilize Knight Composites’ Trailing Edge Aerodynamic Manipulation (TEAM) technology to squeeze every last bit of speed from your bike. By focusing on the trailing edge of the wheel, Knight streamlined the transition from the tire, to the rim, back to the tire, and ultimately to the down tube and the rest of the frame. Extensive testing and development with computational fluid dynamics software, as well as small- and large-format wind tunnels, has led to wheels that truly perform under real world conditions. Knight minimizes “wind steer" by moving a higher percentage of aerodynamic lift to the rear of the wheel, reducing the watts required for the same result and increasing speed on flatter road races and crits, as well as technical or windy triathlon courses. Thorough safety and product testing has proven that Knight Composite's wheels excel in the rough-and-tumble world of elite racing and high-mileage cycling. With rims as highly developed as these, Knight Composites knew they had to provide hubs to match, and the DT Swiss 240s are a longtime benchmark for smooth-rolling quality and low-friction performance.
