Has anyone been riding the Cervélo Reserve 50 wheels? How to they compare to other aero wheels.
Thank you.
Is anyone riding these wheels that can comment?
I’m also interested in a review/comparison to something like the HED Jet 6 or similar wheel.
Thank you for sharing the article. Quite interesting how close all those 10 wheels are in terms of performance — less than 5W at 40km/h between the fastest and slowest.
I am considering getting a Cervelo P-Series Ultegra Di2, which is fitted with the Reserve 50. I guess there is not reason to upgrade the wheelset!

I guess it depends on your perspecitve because I think 5 watts is a pretty huge difference, I think the total drag for a pair of wheels is around 30 watts, so we are talking abour a 15% in drag for an object whose shape is pretty well defined.
The top step of the podium and gold medal goes to DT Swiss, whose Arc 1100 DiCut 62 wheels were a bit of a runaway winner, providing a CdA of 0.09217. In terms of power numbers, that’s a saving of 3.87 watts at 40km/h, or 1.63 watts at 30km/h. Therefore, based on the results of our time in the wind tunnel, if you’re looking to buy a new set of mid-section wheels and aerodynamics matters most, then you should be looking at these.
They also tested at -15 and +15 how often does that happen in the typical triathlon?
