Knight Composites 35 Carbon Clincher : DT 240 : FRONT Wheel

Season:2015

Brand:Knight

Code:K35F2

The Knight Composites 35 Carbon Clinchers are designed as an all-round, versatile wheel system. They offer not only great stability but low-weight and low-drag. They are nimble and comfortable with excellent pick-up and acceleration and are as adept at climbing as the best low-profile wheels available.

Knight Composites is a young company and you may be forgiven for being sceptical when hearing the familiar cry 'designed to offer the rider superior aerodynamic benefit and stability regardless of riding conditions'. Reserve your judgement however: young though they are (the company was founded in 2013) the three co-founders  have over 50 years of collective experience at the top of the cycling industry between them. Beverly Lucas has previously worked for Felt and then at ENVE with Jim Pfeil, Pfeil was co-founder of Reynolds Composites and was part of the ENVE team from inception. Kevin Quan has developed some of the fastest frames and began his career in the cycle industry at Cervelo.

Stability has become a real focus in recent years and the biggest single leap was made by ENVE when they introduced their SMART SES wheel systems and it is against these that Knight pitched themselves. Stability is a major factor when attempting to increase speed: in basic terms a deeper wheel will be faster but comes with the inherent problem of being less stable when confronted with wind at a greater than 0o yaw angle, the resulting phenomenon is called wind-steer. Wind steer  causes the rider to veer off course, or expend additional energy to maintain the preferred path.

Knight took the wind steer effect into consideration when designing their wheels and as mentioned earlier this gave rise to their TEAM shaping. The unique rim profile resulted in moving a higher percentage of the aerodynamic lift to the back half of the wheel – the opposite of most aero wheels - which has aided in counteracting the effects of crosswind. As such the rider can be more confident of the handling and stability of the wheels in conditions that may trouble other wheel systems.

Constructed from the global benchmark Japanese Torayca Toray carbon fibre, Knight's carbon rims are light and exceptionally strong. The use of high strength fibres allows for greater tension when building the wheel which in turn conveys more of the rider's power to the road where it is translated into speed.

Knight wheels are available in 3 depths: 35, 65 and 95 and with 2 graphics options : Black or White. They come laced with Sapim spokes onto either the DT240 or DT180 Ceramic hub for minimal drag, low weight and superb reliability. They are supplied with valve extenders, rim tapes, brake pads and QR skewers. 

Available as Front, Rear Campagnolo and Rear Shimano/Sram fitting.
