Vittoria Qurano 60c Carbon Road Wheelset Tubeless

Sifting through a sea of similarly constructed deep dish carbon wheel options can sometimes feel like a frustrating game of deciphering nonsensical marketing jargon and weighing the cost of a specific logo. Although Vittoria is a newcomer to the carbon wheel game, it's making a splash and giving a whole new perspective on carbon fiber layup. The Qurano 60c Carbon Road Tubeless Wheelset utilizes Vittoria's proprietary Graphene G technology in the resin that binds the carbon fibers together for a wheelset that claims advantages in stiffness, comfort, and reliability. The inclusion of G addresses what's proven to be the Achilles heel of carbon rim technology to date: heat buildup. Resin infused with G increases heat dissipation by a claimed 10%, which leads to more consistent braking power over time and less chance of heat related catastrophic failures such as blown out tires and delaminated braking surfaces. The specter of Beloki tends to always be in the backs of our minds during long, twisty descents on carbon rims, so this added bit of reassurance goes a long way toward keeping our minds off of imminent calamity and on the road ahead. In addition to its heat dissipating prowess, G boasts a high mechanical strength for durability over rough roads and long miles. It also entails massive claims of a 50% increase in lateral stiffness compared to other compounds, which means lightning fast responsiveness during punchy efforts and razor sharp handling while testing your own limits on sweeping descents. And while most super stiff wheels come at the expense of comfort, G also increases radial flexibility to soak up road vibrations and provide a comfortable ride without sacrificing power transfer or that snappy feel. Vittoria fashions the Qurano 60c with a deep dished, 60mm rim, making this an ideal wheelset for time trials, flatlanders, and criterium racers looking for big aerodynamic advantages while still maintaining stability in variable winds.
