Recent advancements have made carbon fibre nearly equal in strength to aluminium, but these innovative technologies typically come at a high price. For when durability, strength, and budget are the top three things on your wheel search list, nothing beats aluminium as the material of choice. With this in mind, Specialized set out to create a alloy wheelset that features many of the desired qualities found in a carbon wheel, such as low weight, stiffness, and good looks, but with the durability to train and race both on and off road. In the end, the SLX 24 wheelset came out as a lightweight, durable wheelset that’s ready for whatever you throw at it.
