Reynolds Topo wheels review

These stunning carbon wheels prove that it sometimes is worth paying what looks like silly money.

The idea of a mountain bike with carbon fibre rims being able to survive bouncing off rocks and roots takes some getting used to, but we’ve had a set of Reynolds Topos for over a year though and they’ve been trouble free.

The deep ‘aero’ rims aren’t only stiff and strong but give a ride that feels as though you’re running several pounds less tyre pressure than you actually are.

Add 24 DT Swiss double-butted spokes either end and super durable, fast reacting DT Swiss hubs in the centre and you’ve got wheels that are as outstanding in performance as in looks and price.
