Rolf Prima Ares6 ES Wheelset
Details
Workhorse Wheel for the Masses
Get the benefits that make the Ares6 the Race Across America’s official wheel, with a price that won’t break the bank. The lightweight carbon rim keeps things quick on the climbs, while the deep rim maximizes speed all-day-long. With the Ares6 ES, aero-advantages are no longer just for the biggest spenders.
The updated 19.5mm (internal) rim-width and tubeless compatibility further enhance ride quality and wide-tire compatibility over previous models, while our reliable yet budget-friendly 3.0 level hubs keep things running smooth and fast.
All Rolf Prima orders are built by hand in Eugene, Oregon.
Going tubeless allows you to run lower tire pressures without the added weight of a tube. Lower tire pressure has many benefits, including greater traction, lower rolling resistance over rough surfaces, and decreased risk of a puncture-related flat.
Tubeless-ready rims and tires are parts of a complete system that eliminate the need for tubes by creating an airtight chamber between the rim and tire. Liquid sealant is added to the chamber to fill small punctures and maintain air pressure while you ride.
UST (Universal Standard for Tubeless) is a specific type of tubeless system that dictates the shape of the rim and tire beads. UST rims should be paired with UST-specific tires for best results.
