The FP60 has with aggressive aerodynamics at a fraction of the cost for full carbon.  Great for Road race, Tri and TimeTrials. And at just 1836 grams for the set, they’ll climb all but the steepest grades like a champ.

Flashpoint wheels are basically a traditional aluminum wheel with a carbon fiber fairing for aerodynamic improvement. This is cool and here is why.

In addition to doing it’s job directing airflow, the carbon dampens vibration, giving you a smoother and more comfortable ride. The traditional wheel inside offers several advantages that a full carbon wheel lacks. Because it has an aluminum braking surface it uses less expensive traditional brake pads. It also makes the wheel more durable, you’ll get a lot of use from a set of Flashpoints and they use clincher tires.

So in short you get the aero advantage without the drawbacks of full carbon and for less money.  Gotta like that.

Flashpoint wheels use anodized hubs with quick-release levers, and are compatible with Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo. Japanese bearings. Handbuilt in Speedway, Indiana USA
