Description
Reynolds reserves their CR6 carbon layup for the Blacklabel line, and the weight difference tells the story. The Blacklabel 60 Expert comes in at 1540 grams for the set, a full 100 grams lighter than the AR60 that shares the same rim depth and aerodynamic profile. That savings comes from the enhanced resin system and laminate schedule in the CR6 construction, which achieves the stiffness targets while reducing material mass. For riders counting grams across a complete build, this is where the Blacklabel investment pays dividends.
The 60mm deep rim uses Reynolds' DET2 (Dispersive Effect Termination) profile, identical across all three tiers of their 60mm offerings. Rather than optimizing for specific wind tunnel yaw angles, this shape manages turbulent airflow across the variable conditions riders actually encounter on the road. The result is a deep wheel that stays composed when crosswinds hit, letting you maintain an efficient position rather than fighting for control. The aerodynamic character doesn't change between Blacklabel and AR models because the rim profile is the same; the difference is entirely in the carbon construction and component specification.
At 21mm internal width, the tubeless-ready channel supports modern tire profiles with hooked beads maintaining compatibility across the full range of tubeless tires. Reynolds optimized the shape around 28mm tires, though the width handles road rubber from 25mm through the wider casings some riders prefer for comfort on long days. The external width reaches 31mm at the widest point before tapering, creating the bulged profile that defines the aerodynamic performance.... Read More
