Looking for a wheelset to KOM your local climbs or win this season's uphill time trial? Check out the ARES3:
The Rolf Prima ARES3 Carbon Disc Brake Wheelset is lightweight and wicked fast. With paired-spoke technology and 32mm, depth rims offer an aero advantage but at the weight of a pure climbing wheel. Perfect for taking your pull on the front, then claiming the KOM on the climbs.
