The Prologue Series is a series of budget-friendly, economical wheel builds. By utilizing a more automated layup process (which adds approximately 20 grams per rim), we are able to keep costs down to spec a wheelset that has incredible performance for half to one-third of the costs of premium models. The Prologue rims feature a hooked tire interface so you can use any tire brand at any pressure and not worry about the catastrophic tire blow-offs that a road hookless rim can suffer.
All Prologue series wheels come with the Skyuka hubs featuring 10-degree engagement and Abec 3 sealed cartridge bearings. The Skyuka rear hub is available in a Shimano Hyperglide or Sram XDR freehub body and requires no tools to swap between the different freehub body standards.
Built with Pillar Aero 1423 spokes and external brass nipples, the Prologue is built to be a great budget upgrade that can be used for everyday riding.
Prologue – It’s time to start something.
The 28mm Clincher Disc is a low profile, lightweight carbon that is a perfect pairing for the cyclist who is looking to make their bike more lively and nimble. At only 1570 grams for the set, this wheelset designed for road use excels in blustery conditions and when the road points upward. As part of the Prologue series, the price to performance ratio is unrivaled.
Use the wheelset as a replacement for those clunky wheels that came on your bike. If you prioritize crosswind stability, weight, and a lively nimble feeling over a slight aero gain, the lower profile 28mm depth is sure to make you dance on the pedals. With an 18mm internal width, this wheelset is suited towards 25 to 30mm road tires.
Chances are unless you spent multiple thousands of dollars on your bike, the wheels are lacking in quality. You’re not going to want to spend more on wheels than your bike, but you always want an upgrade. The Prologue 28mm clinchers will shave weight, liven up your bike, and give you that performance boost you are looking for.
