Expert Reviews

• Tire width improves the aerodynamics of the wheelset.
• Lightweight wheelset compared to other similar models.
• Stiffness means lack of flexibility, which increases speed.
• Seamless Transition Technology aids in efficient aerodynamics.
• Technology used in the wheelset reduces drag and turbulence.
• Entire wheelset is very light, weighing 1107g.
• Carbon rims designed with criss-cross weave for style.
• Sufficient ride quality due to stiffness, with no detectable flex or brake rub.
• Combines high- and mid-moduli carbon fibers, to balance lightweight qualities, stiffness, and durability.
• Basalt fibers in the brake track reduce heat build-up and increase stopping ability.
• M series rims are the lightest available from Mercury.
• M5C’s are 23.5m wide, which allows you to ride at a lower PSI for a more comfortable ride.

Expert Reviews

• Pricey compared to competition.
• This wheelset isn’t as well known, especially under the ‘aerodynamic’ category, which could prevent people from trusting their purchase.
• No data showing how the wheelset performs in a wind tunnel against the competition.
• The increased stopping power has to counterbalance the poor braking quality that is common in many carbon wheels.
