SRAM adds a new aluminum wheel to its range: the S30 AL Gold.
For
2011, SRAM expands its aluminium wheel range with the addition of a
fourth model: the S30 AL Gold. Inspired by the test winning S30 AL Race,
the S30 AL Gold adds another choice to its already formidable wheel
line-up and sits at the top end of the SRAM wheel spectrum.
The
S30 AL Gold is the lightest wheelset in the SRAM line at 1450g and uses
the proven features of the S30 AL Race: 30mm deep aluminum rim, hybrid
toroidal rim, SAPIM CX Rays spokes, aluminum internal nipples, and a
sleek polished Black Diamond finish.
Aside from the great looks,
the S30 AL Gold's reduced rolling resistance and improved durability are
courtesy of the new high precision ceramic hub bearings from Ceramic
Speed. Additionally, titanium quick releases save 10 grams per wheel,
and a new set-screw locking mechanism on the matched gold end caps
easily adjusts and maintains the perfect preload. The drive side rear
wheel radial lacing provides optimal power transfer and balance;
oversize alloy axle and optimized bearing position increase stiffness,
while smooth and secure ratchet system offer fast and reliable pawl
engagement.
The result is the perfect balance of speed and
stiffness in what is the best looking high performance SRAM aluminum
wheelset.
