The Craft Works Racing Wheels, AKA "CRW" CS series. CS stands for Carbon Spokes. I've been riding these for a few months now and the last time I rode something so paradigm-shifting was 3 and a half years go with a wheel that begin with "H".
I think there is no such thing as "the best wheel in the world" but there is "the best wheel for you and the road your riding today." I think these wheels could be that option for lots of people.
These wheels I really do think are the start of a "new generation" of carbon spoked wheels.
1st generation carbon spoked wheels - Lightweight, Mad Fiber, Spinergy, etc. These used non-replaceable carbon spokes.
2nd generation carbon spoked wheels - Popular from 2019-now. CADEX, HYPER, DRIVE, etc. Basically a steel spoked wheel with the spokes swapped for carbon spokes.
3rd generation carbon spoked wheels - Wheels that are built from the ground-up to take advantage of carbon spokes.The weight savings possible are crazy and the ride characteristics much more pleasant.
^ It's not a perfect categorising system, but it's like grouping games consoles or fighter jets.

RuoteCRW Works CS Series Road Disc Brake Wheelset
Creato: 20 settembre 2024Il recensore, Joe, è estremamente entusiasta del set di ruote CRW Works CS Series Road Disc Brake, descrivendolo come una ruota a raggi in carbonio di terza generazione che offre eccezionale leggerezza e rigidità. Evidenzia il basso peso delle ruote, i benefici aerodinamici derivanti da un minor numero di raggi e caratteristiche di design uniche come i raggi avvitati e i cerchi ottimizzati per freni a disco. Menziona anche che le ruote sono disponibili in tre modelli con diverse profondità e larghezze interne, e ha ottenuto i diritti di distribuzione internazionale per essi.
