Can a wheel make our team riders incredibly fast while simultaneously reducing fatigue in races like the Giro d'Italia? Can a carbon rim be used for both mixed and endurance stages? The Miura TC road bike wheels are poised to be a real surprise at the next Giro d'Italia, with style.
Professional riders have particularly high performance demands; we know that for them, even the smallest details can make the difference between victory and defeat. For this reason, when it comes to racing bike wheels, very careful considerations are essential.
Let's start by saying that until a few years ago, cycling rims were very different from those we're currently seeing on the roads of the European Grand Tours. While manufacturers once focused entirely on extreme performance, today we can see a greater focus on comfort and safety. Disc brakes, for example, have practically superseded the old V-brake: a change that shortens braking times, in some ways also changing the riders' riding style.
Another example is the progressive and inexorable abandonment of aluminum rims. Even for intensive training, professional team cyclists rely on the quality of full carbon.
Why is this happening? Simple: new wheel models have arrived that combine the stiffness and lightness of the best carbon rims with a level of comfort never before achieved by this type of product. The result of the equation is a wheel similar to those in our TC series: transverse.
A mixed route today, and a classic stage tomorrow? No problem.
It often happens during the Giro d'Italia: today we're tackling a stage with a fragmented route and a likely sprint finish, while tomorrow we're facing a classic northern style course. Which wheels should you choose? With the TC series, Bardiani CSF Faizané and Vini Zabù KTM will be ready.
The peculiarities of these circles are two:
- Tubeless and clincher . This technical solution allows you to mount both types of tires. For example, you can choose the convenience of a clincher for your training sessions, deciding to switch to the more performing tubeless depending on race day.
- 28mm channel . You will have the option of equipping your bike with 28” or 30” tires, which are wider than normal, gaining stability and comfort on endurance or rough terrain.
As you might imagine from these premises, the TC series rims are extremely adaptable to a variety of routes. Thanks to tubeless, professionals can compete on asphalt without worrying too much about the risk of punctures. The next day, they might need to tackle a cobblestone or gravel route: simply lower the tire pressure to gain more grip and absorb the bumps of gravel. In short, TC truly adapts well to all situations.
And the performance?
We certainly haven't forgotten about them. The aerodynamic profile in the TC series rims is designed based on the NACA 0027, an aeronautical profile. The carbon fibers are laid using a special wrapping process: this allows for ideal material distribution, making the wheel structure extremely lightweight and extremely balanced. All variants feature the latest Ursus aluminum hubs. A concentration of technology, precise to the micrometer, enhanced by the presence of high-smoothness ball bearings.
In short, we're talking about professional technical masterpieces that, in their "disc" version, add to their list of advantages an ever more responsive and effective braking, ideal even in rain or wet conditions.
There are three profile sizes currently available.
Miura TC37 / Miura TC37 Disc
In their 37 mm version, these wheels maintain high performance both over long distances and on mixed routes. They also responded very well to our tests on gravel and wet surfaces, demonstrating great stability. They are available in the V-brake version ( Miura TC37 ) and in the disc brake version ( Miura TC37 Disc ).
Miura TC47 / Miura TC47 Disc
The new 47 mm profile has been tested this season by champions who ride Ursus wheels and proved to be exceptional during the Tour de France. It's a solution halfway between the lightweight Miura TC37 and the aerodynamic setup of the Miura TC67, which performs particularly well on mixed routes. These wheels are also available in V-Brake or Disc versions.
Miura TC67 / Miura TC67 Disc
The 67 mm version gives the bike a strong aesthetic impact, but that's certainly not its main selling point. These wheels are designed to perform at their best in time trials, when the aerodynamics of their GOE 775 Airfoil profile minimizes headwind resistance. Even crosswinds won't be a problem, as they'll slide away without destabilizing you. Here too, you can choose between the Miura TC67 V-Brake or the Miura TC67 Disc versions.
