Rolf Prima Ares3 Wheelset
Details
The Ares3 is lightweight and wicked fast. The paired-spoke technology and 32mm depth rims offer an aero advantage but at the weight of a pure climbing wheel. Perfect for taking your pull on the front, then claiming the KOM on the climbs.
The tubeless compatible, 19mm internal rim-width supports wider tires and guarantees premium handling. Coupled with a rim profile that minimizes side-wind interference, this is the wheelset for the hills — up and down.
Our US-made hubs featuring Enduro bearings, titanium freehub body and T2 high engagement drive guarantee snappy accelerations and incredible durability. Or, pull out the stops with a ceramic Enduro Zero bearing upgrade for even more speed and longevity.
All Rolf Prima orders are built by hand in Eugene, Oregon.
Going tubeless allows you to run lower tire pressures without the added weight of a tube. Lower tire pressure has many benefits, including greater traction, lower rolling resistance over rough surfaces, and decreased risk of a puncture-related flat.
Tubeless-ready rims and tires are parts of a complete system that eliminate the need for tubes by creating an airtight chamber between the rim and tire. Liquid sealant is added to the chamber to fill small punctures and maintain air pressure while you ride.
UST (Universal Standard for Tubeless) is a specific type of tubeless system that dictates the shape of the rim and tire beads. UST rims should be paired with UST-specific tires for best results.
