The best triathlon wheels have highly developed aerodynamics to give you the edge when every second counts. They’re optimised for the high speeds that competitors in triathlons maintain and for stability in crosswinds.
Almost all are available for disc brake bikes, but a surprising number can still be found with rim brake tracks, if you’re still needing that. Most are now tubeless-ready, but you can still run tubed clinchers in some, and there are even tubular wheelsets available, which will save you a few grams.
Quick list: Best triathlon wheels
1. DT Swiss ARC 1100 Dicut 80
DT’s third-generation ARC 1100 Dicut wheels have the brand’s renowned hubs, but the rim is now wider and more aero, with the 85mm depth lighter than its 80mm predecessor.
2. Hunt 65 Carbon Aero Disc
Hunt Wheels continues to offer impressive tech at bargain prices. The 65 Carbon Aero Disc wheelset is wind tunnel tested for speed and crosswind stability, and punches well above its price tag.
The most used wheel brand at Kona, Zipp continues to offer top tech in its wheels including the deeper section 858 with its NSW sawtooth design, aimed at increasing wheel stability. They’re also impressively light, given their depth.
With Tour de France stage wins beneath Wout van Aert and Jonas Vingegaard, the Reserve wheels are certainly up to the task. They feature a wide internal rim bed, are designed around 25 and 28mm tyres, and are competitively lightweight.
5. Parcours Disc/Chrono Max
With an 84mm front and solid disc rear, these tubeless-ready disc brake wheels are perfectly up to the task of any time trial or triathlon. They’re a touch heavier than their competitors, but they’re significantly cheaper too.
