Road, MTB and gravel wheelsets
Upgrading your wheels is one of the most noticeable improvements you can make to any bike. Less weight where it matters most, better aerodynamics, and improved ride quality.
For road, the trend is towards wider rims and tubeless setups. For MTB, carbon rims have come down in price and durability has gone up.
Consider your priorities: climbing (lighter is better), flat speed (aero depth matters), or durability (save the race wheels for race day).
