Without writing another article I'd sum it up that these rims ride very
similarly to the first and second generation Enve rims (I haven't had any time
on the recent wider profile models). Also quite similar to the Reynolds rims.
They are stiff laterally but also vertically as I mentioned.
I have lots of time on the Nobl TR33 and NOX Farlows and those two rims
definitely seem to have more vertical complaince to their ride.
Claimed weights seem to be very similar but so often we have wheels fully
built up sent to us so don't have a chance to check rim weights individually.
It's so hard to go toe to toe with these things as you'd have to build the
wheels up as close to the same as possible. Same spokes, spoke tensions, hubs…
WTB turns out great product and these rims certainly seem to be continuing
that habit.
