Lightweight all-round aero wheelset
ERE Research Genus II CL45-R Carbon Disc Wheelset
A 45mm carbon road wheelset weighing just 1,339g a pair, built with Sapim Aero Carbon spokes and Panama SL hubs. It is light enough for the climbs and deep enough to stay quick on the flat.
Highlights
Why we rate it
Climb and cruise
At 1,339g the CL45-R is light enough for hilly days, while the 45mm rim still brings aero gains on faster roads.
Carbon spokes
Sapim Aero Carbon spokes are central to the low weight, with a 603g front and 736g rear.
Balanced 2:1 build
21 spokes per wheel laced 2:1 keep tension even and the wheels stiff under sprinting and climbing loads.
Versatile rim
A 21mm internal hooked rim, taped for tubeless, suits 26-32mm tyres for road racing, sportives and rough classics-style routes.
UCI approved
Race legal and rated for riders up to 130kg, finished with laser-etched Frankenstrat-inspired graphics.
