CTg is an acronym for Cryogenic Glass Transition and is comprised of very specific carbon and resin combinations to help dissipate heat at the exterior of the rim surface to enhance braking performance. Testing shows this reduces heat buildup by 53%, which keeps the inside of the rim much cooler than the exterior, essential for performance and safety. Proprietary Cryo-Blue Power brake pads are included with the wheelset and work in conjunction with the brake track to deliver the powerful, consistent braking while keeping things cool.

This wheel combination offers excellent versatility within many race disciplines and distances. This versatility also comes from the 25mm rim width (17mm internal) and the 41/62mm section profiles. Paired with a 23-25mm tire, the footprint is larger for exceptional grip and handling. Stability comes from the combination of the mid-section profiles and the increased width. You won't be buffeted by cross winds, nor get tentative on rougher roads or in sharp corners. The front Assault, with its 20 radially laced spokes has excellent stiffness for assertive cornering and the aerodynamics help you hold speed when in the wind, or when drafting. The Strike rear, with the 62mm profile keeps the rear super stable, and is still stiff with 24 spokes, laced 2x/2x. The lateral stiffness will impress you, and the vertical compliance will surprise you. There is rapid acceleration and consistent speed from the set, with the agility you'd expect from lower profile wheels.

Reynolds Cycling has built a new Performance hubset to replace the previous Racing hub model. The machined alloy hub bodies with sculpted forms that are proven in the wind tunnel, carrying straight-pull, lightly bladed steel spokes. The lightweight alloy freehub of the Strike is smooth, with fast, sure engagement. The 24 hole Strike, with the 2x/2x lacing is the big change from the previous model, offering a more compliant and better balanced tension, which results in better performance and lateral stiffness. The alloy nipples are external for easy truing. The rroad tubeless set-up for both wheels requires taping. Rim strips, quick releases, and tubeless valves are included, along with the Cryo-Blue brake pads.

If you are racing cyclist or triathlete looking for an aero wheelset for everyday riding and versatile racing events, the Assault-Strike SLG Clincher Wheelset has to be on your radar. Reynolds wheels have been proven year after year by continental pro teams and individual racers. You can have an excellent aerodynamic advantage for the price of just one higher-end wheel. The technology and construction will surprise those that haven't ridden Reynolds wheels, and the clincher/tubeless options keep you from fighting with tubulars and glue. Training and racing on the same wheels and tires makes you a more confident more relaxed rider allowing you to dedicate your focus and energy to the racing.
