RIM SPECS
TECH
Turbo rims feature a 25mm internal width, 32mm external width, and a maximum width of 34.5mm, making them ideal for mainstream 28c and 30c tire sizes. The measured width of labelled 28c and 30c tires usually ranges from 30mm to 34mm. The rim width of the Turbo rims, when paired with these tires, adheres to the 105% rule of thumb.
The aero advantage of the Turbo wheels comes from their shape and rim depth. The smooth curvature of the rim sidewall reduces air drag and enhances crosswind stability, similar to our tested and proven X-Flow profile. The rim shape also enhances lateral stiffness, making the wheel feel more responsive during acceleration.
The rims are available in 21H for carbon spoke and 24H for steel spoke builds. Feel free to customize your Turbo 50 wheels.
WARRANTY
For Non-Pro Series Rims: From the date of purchase, 3-year Standard Warranty.
For Pro Series Rims: From the date of purchase, 5-year Pro Warranty as standard and an upgraded optional lifetime Premium Warranty with minimum charge.
Crash Replacement: It is applicable with the same period as the warranty time range that you purchased for the rims with 10% /25% discount for Non-Pro series /Pro series.

Caleb : Turbo 50, speed gen 2 hubs, carbon spokes, ceramic and 48t upgrade. Initial impressions are really good. GP5000 tires mounted easily tubeless and seated with floor pump. Ceramic bearings seem to be worth the upgrade and spin super smooth. Was expecting harsh ride with carbon spokes but with 30mm tires perfect balance stiffness and ride quality.

Christopher : I finally mounted the tires and got a chance to ride the wheels!
Aside from the built-perfection, I was very impressed with how easy it was to mount the tires. I got some new Pirelli P ZERO Race RS TLR tires in 32mm to go with the new wheels. They snapped on easily, and I had them on without sealant for a few days to see how they held air. What can I say? After two days, they still held nearly 4 bar (I mounted them at 5 bar). At 4 bar, the 32mm tires measure 34mm, so it’s a perfect match with the Falcon Turbos!
On my first ride, I did some activation efforts and set new personal bests on two ~7-minute climbs. Last weekend, the wheels had their real first outing. I participated in the Glocknerkönig, a public race up the highest mountain pass in Austria (total 27km with 1670 meters of elevation gain, most of which comes after the first false flat 10k, so basically 17km at an average gradient of ~9% to finish at 2428m). This was my first participation, and I had never done such a long climb or reached that altitude before, so there were a lot of unknowns. However, I paced myself well and came close to my target of finishing in under 2 hours (I finished at 2:00:45). I know that climbing is not the ideal setting for the Falcon Pros, but they performed wonderfully.
So all I want to say is thank you for making such beautiful and fast wheels!
