Protens SC36

Protens’ new gravel wheels which go by the name SC36, are one of the most beautiful specimens the award jury has come across in recent years. With glossy rims and bladed stainless steel spokes in an oil slick pattern, they immediately trigger the “have to have” reflex of every gravel rider. Optimized fiber flow of the specially developed rim and internal nipples are just some of its technical specialties. Trailmech’s gravel hubs with asymmetric hub geometry and VORTEX50 freewheel technology shine with very quick engagement. Those who use their wheels as a bell will love the SC36. The sound of the freewheel is loud and sounds like a swarm of hornets. Passers-by have rarely gotten out of the way so quickly! The high manufacturing quality is also reflected in the handling. When accelerating, the wheels demonstrate their stiffness and accelerate willingly. Without sacrificing comfort, they master all sorts of corners with precision. At 1,457 g, they also cut a fine figure on the scales, all that with generous tire compatibility – according to the manufacturer, the wheels are compatible with up to 700 x 50C tires. An incredibly harmonious overall package!
