what is it?
The carbon Prologue 44mm Clincher Disc is the ideal blend of weight, aero gain, and crosswind stability. Our most popular wheel since 2015, the 44mm depth in disc brake makes its way to the Prologue series for an unrivaled price to performance ratio. At just 1665 grams this wheelset is equally at home on a mountain road, flying along the coast, or hammering your local group ride. If you need one wheelset to do it all, the 44mm disc is the wheelset for you.
We have often said that the mid-depth 44mm clincher is an all-purpose wheelset. With the wide 21mm internal tubeless rim, you can comfortably run road tires in the 25mm to 34mm width.
