MEASURED VALUES
Rim width (inside) 21 mm
Weight² VR 765 g/HR 889 g/total 1653 g
Stiffness VR 62 N/mm / HR 61 N/mm
Inertia VR 433 kg x cm²/HR 432 kg x cm²
Polar diagram VR/HR (spoke deflection in mm; red: right side, blue: left side)
Spoke tension deviation fron. left: 28 %, fron. right: 41 %, hi. left: 23 %, hi. right: 11 %
Concentricity/centredness new condition (points/max. points) 6/10
Resistance to overload (points/max. points) 10/10
Conclusion At just 21 millimetres, the Roam wheels are the narrowest and therefore weigh very little. The largest deviations within this test group can be found in the spoke tension.
