The profile of the Var 35 TCD road disc brake rim was developed to offer the best aerodynamics when used with 25-28mm tires.
The external width of 30mm optimizes the airflow in combination with wider tires, while the internal width of 21mm ensures that the wider tires achieve a stable, round profile. The rim width also means that the rims are laterally very stiff while the filament winding process ensures that the rims remain vertically compliant due to the 45 degree fiber layup bias. The combination of these features results in very fast, safe handling wheels that can be used in any conditions.

I have these on my do it all bike that I take on and off road for gravel rides. They are doing great even with 28mm Conti GP 4 season. No squirming and a very comfortable ride. On the road dropping to a lighter narrower tire transforms the bike. Acceleration is great.

The best wheels I ever used. Fantastic in the Alps – no problem with braking behind traffic and freedom to accelerate into corners with confidence. The Var 35 TCD handle both the climbing and descending with ease and give a confidence inspiring feeling when going fast.
