The Prologue models form a budget-friendly, high-performance range from Boyd Cycling that sets the bar in terms of price/performance ratio. The Prologue series is designed to appeal to those looking for an upgrade to their standard wheels at an adequate price. By using an automated carbon layup process that only adds a little over 20 grams of weight per rim, Boyd Cycling engineers were able to keep costs down and create a wheel that offers incredible performance for half to a third of the cost of premium models.
The Prologue front rim features a classic hooked rim flange, so any brand of tire can be used at any pressure and there is no risk of tire blowouts that hookless road bike rims can suffer. At the heart of the Prologue wheel is the reliable Boyd Cycling Skyuka Disc hub, which features a fast 10 degree pressure angle, sealed Abec-3 cartridge bearings and centerlock brake disc mount. The wheel is built with Pillar Aero 1423 J-bend spokes and Pillar DSN brass nipples, resulting in an overall sturdy front wheel.
The 44mm tread height provides the ideal blend of light weight, aerodynamic benefits and crosswind stability. And with an inner width of 19 mm, road bike tires between 25 and 32 mm can be comfortably ridden. Gone are the days when you needed a heavy aluminum wheel for everyday use and had to switch to the fast wheels for racing. At only 842 grams, this wheel is just as at home on mountainous roads as it is on the flat coastal trails or on the local ride in the group.
If you're looking for a front wheel that can do it all, you'll find it with the Prologue 44 Disc - a great, everyday performance upgrade that's easy on the wallet.
