Who it is best suited for and How it performs in local conductions

The Genus II AE65-R is ideal for performance-focused road cyclists looking to upgrade from alloy wheels or mid-range carbon wheels to a faster, more aerodynamic race-ready wheelset.

Best Suited For

  • Road racers
  • Triathletes
  • Competitive club riders
  • Gran Fondo participants
  • Cyclists seeking a premium carbon wheel upgrade

Performance in Brisbane & Australian Conditions

The 65mm aerodynamic profile performs exceptionally well on Brisbane's smoother suburban roads, fast river-loop rides and long open roads commonly found throughout South East Queensland.

The wide internal rim supports modern 28mm tyres, making it particularly well suited to Australian road surfaces where a balance of speed, comfort and puncture resistance is important.

The tubeless-ready design helps reduce rolling resistance while improving comfort and grip on rough chip-seal roads frequently encountered throughout Queensland and regional Australia.
