The AR22 is designed to provide the best"over the road" performance. A general purpose wheel must be compliant enough for comfort and control on rough pavement but also be "snappy" enough for response and handling. Strength and longevity are just as important as low rotational weight and good aerodynamics. The AR22 (aero road 22mm deep) isn't the lightest wheel on the planet nor the most aerodynamic,but probably IS the the best riding wheel (based on the aforementioned characteristics). The combination of low profile rims,lightweight spokes and specific spoke count provide a "tuned ride",with each component supplying just enough(but not too much)flex at the right moment. Absolutely the best perfomance from an aluminum wheel. This wheelset is very similar to the designs that I produced over ten years ago. Back then, wheels like these were aimed at triathletes, but mine were strong enough for criteriums and training, and test editors at "Triathlete" magazine confirmed this fact,(see Triathlete article;exotic wheels April "92).
