The Syncros Capital SL Aero wheels, with their curious carbon monocoque design, are at the cutting edge of road bike wheel development, a superlight solution for riders prepared to invest heavily in their quest for speed.
They’re a distant descendant of Syncros’s Silverton mtb wheels, the Scott-owned brand’s first one-piece carbon-fibre wheelset launched back in 2018. Those off-road hoops were ridden to victory by Tom Pidcock at the Tokyo Olympics, and carried Nino Schurter to multiple World Cup victories, so the Capitals come with a fine pedigree.
