Reynolds 46mm Road
The Everywhere Wheel
"Made For Only One Destination: The Podium"
Winning races requires excellence and race winning wheels must offer excellence no matter where the race takes place. From start to finish the varied nature of terrain, gradient and conditions requires a tool that is capable of offering excellence across all situations that could be present during competition. Reynolds has produced a tool that performs in just such a versatile manner that it should be dubbed the âeverywhere wheelâ. The new 46mm Road platform is extremely versatile yet with a performance that gives it a laser like focus on one single destination, the podium.
Extremely versatile yet with a performance that gives it a laser like focus on one single destination, the podium.
âMaster of all. One single solution for a competitive advantage no matter where your competitive spirit may lead you. â
With the goal of all Reynolds wheels being not merely to compete but rather to win, the 46mm “”everywhere wheel’s”” performance was necessarily optimized in a 360-degree manner.
BEST IN CLASS AERODYNAMICS
The 46mm offering is a mid-depth profile that
is extremely versatile yet best in class in terms of aerodynamics. Designed using the RAV design
philosophy, the new DET 2 profile offers not only unrivaled aerodynamic performance but class
leading stability as well. Reynoldsâ comprehensive approach to aerodynamics that provide real world
benefit is the key to producing a wheel that produces a tangible benefit to all riders. While wind
tunnel and CFD analysis is part of the development process, the Reynolds profile is designed with the
innumerable Yaw angles of wind a rider will encounter on the road. The DET 2 profile is made in such
a way to improve not only the wheelâs aerodynamics in a versatile and performance enhancing way,
but also conferring the stability necessary for the rider to safely maintain a more aerodynamic and
efficient position. In other words, the design of the Reynolds profile takes into consideration both
the aerodynamics of the rider as well as the wheelset, as the two must necessarily compete (and win)
together.
LIGHTWEIGHT YET EXTREMELY DURABLE
“Making
the perfect all-rounder wheel required adding
efficiencies in terms of weight. Sleek and
lightning fast on the flats yet amazingly
lightweight and nimble for efficiency on
even the steepest gradient. The proprietary
CR6 laminate design and enhanced resin
system makes for the absolute lightest, no
compromise wheelset that can perform up to
the lofty Reynolds performance, efficiency and durability standards. At 1397gr for the pair the
BL46 PRO are extremely lightweight, however,
considering the Reynolds lifetime guarantee
for the integrity of the rim, it is in a class of
its own.”
BUILT TO A HIGHER STANDARD
Using the Reynolds CR6 laminate design and enhanced resin system the engineering department were able to reduce weight while ensuring optimum durability and power transferâŚthus ensuring performance that stands the test of time (or competition). Such technology and meticulous development allows Reynolds to produce not only race winning performance but also a lifetime guarantee on the structural integrity of the rim.
REYNOLDS AERO VERSATILITY: Not All Aero is Created Equal
Reynolds Aero Versatility, or RAV, considers the real-world usage of a wheel and develops a solution that gives the rider not only advantages in the form of aerodynamic efficiency from the wide range of wind angles he or she will encounter on the road, but also the highest degree of stability possible at any given rim depth. Added stability improves control and as a result allows for the rider to maintain an aerodynamic position more safely and comfortably, for longerâŚtranslating into better performance.
OPTIMIZED FOR MODERN TIRES
“While the attention towards stiffness of the
unit makes for a more efficient ride, the 21mm
hooked tubeless channel allows for further
efficiencies in addition to comfort. The wider,
tubeless channel is designed to offer a superior
tire fit and compatibility with contemporary
tire designs, optimized for 28mm tires. Such
compatibility allows for not only comfort but
lower rolling resistance thanks for larger tires
run at comparably lower pressures and the
hooked design allows for a greater tire pressure
range and is compatible with any tubeless tire.”
PREMIUM HUBS FOR PREMIUM POWER TRANSFER
From the Reynolds/Industry 9 hubs on the BL PRO to the SunRingle solutions on the Expert and AR versions, the immediate engagement and efficient power transfer ensures that power transfer is crisp, immediate and efficient.
Industry Leading Aerodynamics, at all levels
There is no price point for top aerodynamics and the DET 2 rim profile remains constant throughout the range. The same profile will be found on PRO, EXPERT and AR level wheels.
