Within a couple of years, you won’t even be able to buy a new rim brake, enthusiast-level, endurance road bike. There’s little doubt that we are now well beyond the tipping or inflection point in the shift from rim to disc brake bikes. I’ve been following the emergence of road disc bikes since 2014.

Most have tier 2 or better component groupsets like Shimano Ultegra and Dura-Ace or SRAM Force and Red with mechanical or electronic shifting and have hydraulic (rather than cable-actuated) disc brakes.Īmong race bike models, road disc bikes are clearly in the ascendancy even though the pro tour and many top-category amateur racers still use rim brake bikes. These endurance bikes are made with carbon frames and sell for between $/£/€2,500 and $/£/€5,000 with some going for up to $/£/€10,000. New Road Disc Bikes For Endurance and Racing Displacing Rim Brake Onesįrom everything I know, 2018 was the first year that more endurance road bikes with disc brakes were sold to road cycling enthusiasts like you and me than those made with rim brakes. I describe these here before providing you my evaluations of the wheelsets themselves. Several market, product, and technology changes have occurred over the last few years that may affect your consideration and decision of which road disc wheelset to buy. Several other wheelsets are worth considering ROAD DISC WHEELSET DEVELOPMENTS

The Zipp 30 Course gets my nod as the Best Performer the Easton EC90 SL is the Best Value When evaluating a road disc wheelset upgrade, some criteria are more important than others Stock wheels are no better on road disc bikes than rim brake bikesĬompatibility exists even if standards aren’t quite there yet

Made from aluminum alloys and typically selling for under $/£/€1000, these road disc wheelset upgrades are less expensive than carbon wheels that make up the other categories, most that sell for 1.5-3x more. These wheels will provide a far better riding experience than the stock wheels that come with most new road disc bikes.Īll are comfortable to ride, helped in part by having wide rims (19-21mm inside width) that can be set up with tubeless tires.

In this post, I’ll share my reviews of the best of these wheels from the upgrade category that are available as of this most recent post update. The same categories of choices you’ve had in rim brake wheels – upgrade, all-around, aero, and climbing – are filling out now with new wheelsets specifically for road disc bikes.

With new road disc bikes now outselling rim brake ones, there are more and better road disc wheelset choices coming to market each year. And if you’ve bought a road disc bike recently, you’re probably asking yourself the same question you did shortly after you bought your last good rim brake bike – what are the best wheels I can get to upgrade my bike at a reasonable price? If you are a road cycling enthusiast, your next road bike will most likely have disc rather than rim brakes. Road disc bikes are now front and center, mainstream, almost in your face. Summary: If you’ve bought a road disc bike recently, you’ve probably asked yourself…which road disc wheelset would be a real upgrade at a reasonable price? Among the best we’ve tested, I found the Zipp 30 Course Disc Brake Clincher to be the Best Performer (market price $1000 from stores I recommend in the US here) and Easton EA90 SL Disc to be the Best Value (market price of $700 in the US here).
