Knight Composites Knight 65 Carbon Fiber Rims

Measuring 65 millimeters deep, the Knight 65 from Knight Composites steps boldly into the aero wheel arena and stakes its claim in a hotly contested category. The aero advantage all comes down to rim shape, and Knight Composites has developed their Trailing Edge Aerodynamic Manipulation (TEAM) technology to squeeze every last bit of speed from your bike. Knight determined that enhanced aerodynamic gains could be achieved by focusing on the trailing edge of the rim, streamlining the transition from wheel to downtube and increasing laminar airflow over the bike as a whole. Extensive testing and development with computational fluid dynamics software, as well as small- and large-format wind tunnels, has led to rims that truly perform under real world conditions. Knight minimized "wind steer" by moving a higher percentage of aerodynamic lift to the rear of the wheel. This leads to reduced wattage and increased speed on flatter road races and crits as well as technical or windy triathlon courses. And, thorough safety and product testing has proven that Knight Composite's rims excel in the rough-and-tumble world of elite racing and high-mileage cycling.
