Manufacturer information
Mechanical labyrinth system in the R-series hubs keeps dirt out for long-term reliability.
R-series uses the same rim profiles as the Artech series but without Aeroscales and with steel instead of carbon spokes, at a lower price.

Lower weight helps on climbs and repeated accelerations. For flat rides, commuting and carrying loads, comfort, durability and aerodynamics often matter more than a few grams. Frame, wheelset and complete-bike weights are not directly comparable.
Deeper rims can help on fast, flat rides but react more to crosswinds. Shallower rims often suit lighter riders, climbing and variable winds. Mid-depth is an all-round compromise; depth alone does not determine speed.
Internal width affects tyre shape and mounted width. More support can suit wider gravel tyres; a narrow road tyre does not automatically fit a wide rim. External width affects aerodynamics. Always check the approved tyre/rim pairing.
A supple, lightly treaded tyre suits fast tarmac miles; loose terrain needs more grip and volume. Tubeless or hookless labels are compatibility requirements, not styling choices. Width, model, pressure and frame clearance must all agree.
Spoke material, count and construction affect stiffness, weight and servicing. Low weight may matter in racing; rough routes and everyday use also demand durability and repairability. Spoke count alone is not a quality measure.

Schwalbe: ETRTO band-velgcombinatiesInternal/external rim width: 23 mm / 31 mm. Internal width affects tyre shape and mounted width. More support can suit wider gravel tyres; a narrow road tyre does not automatically fit a wide rim. External width affects aerodynamics. Always check the approved tyre/rim pairing.
Schwalbe: ETRTO band-velgcombinatiesCheck axle dimensions, rotor mounting and cassette driver on your bike. The approved tyre-rim combination and frame clearance must also match. A matching brand name alone is not enough.
