Argonaut has rolled out its latest road-specific wheelset dubbed the R43, featuring a 43mm rim profile that’s aimed at balancing comfort and aerodynamics at a gravity defying 1266 grams for the set.
“Say hello to the new R43 — engineered for riders who demand the very best. Lightweight, aerodynamic and built to transfer every watt of power, the 43mm rim depth strikes the ideal balance between aerodynamic efficiency and low weight, offering superior speed compared to shallower rims without the unnecessary weight penalty of deeper profiles,” boasts Argonaut.
Elsewhere, the R43 spins on premium DT Swiss 180 center-lock hubs and DT Aerolite spokes, while hidden nipples further enhance the wheels’ aerodynamic signature.
“DT Aerolite spokes ensure strength and low weight, laced to a precise tension of 125 kg for consistent performance under the toughest conditions. Hidden internal nipples improve aerodynamics and minimize drag, while DT Swiss 180 hubs provide buttery-smooth operation and ease of service,” adds Argonaut.
Additionally, the 23.7mm internal rim width provides enough space to accommodate tires ranging from 28mm to a hefty 35mm.
The R43 wheelset sells for $3400, which be been purchased directly from Argonaut here.
