ecco qua la spiega...in pratica per risparmiare qualcosa..
The 2011 R-SYS SLR features the new Exalith rims front and rear, and is available in tubular or clincher versions. The clincher system has a claimed weight of 1,994g (the wheels alone weigh 1,370g) and costs £1,330/$2,000. The tubular version weighs 1,955g and costs £1,382/$2,080 with tyres. All R-SYS wheels are made in France, regardless of whether or not an Exalith rim is employed.
If you’re still hung up on the R-SYS’s spotted history, the new 2011 Ksyrium SLR wheel system may still be an option. The set pairs a Zircal-spoked Ksyrium style front wheel with the R-SYS Tracomp rear wheel. The set uses the same Exalith rim with the same spoke count – providing all of the braking and strength advantages – as the R-SYS SLR set, but built with a Ksyrium hub and alloy spokes. The different spokes only add 30g to the wheelset’s overall weight, yet the changes shave £130 from the system price, which totals to £1,200/$1,800 for clinchers or £1,252/$1,880 for tubs.
