"The new hub hosts a taller, woven carbon hub flange, and a roller bearing supported freehub as well. The 2.0's are incredibly responsive, quiet and tough... Using the Kuota KOM for the test bike, I decided to ride a few heavy fire roads. Bouncing around and hitting some sections hard, the CXÕs never waivered and came out without any problems."

"We recently found a company that packs more innovation into their wheels than any other manufacturer; Topolino. ...the Topolino CX2's are ridiculously comfortable. The continuous spokes seem to soak up everything but the Grand Canyon. The Topolino CX2.0 is an exceptional choice for any long day in the saddle. And for all those big riders that are tired of truing wheels, replacing spokes, and never thought they would be able to confidently ride a sub 1400 gram clincher, the CX2.0 is your go to wheel."

"Anyone looking for a light, stiff, durable wheel set that is also techno-blingalicious should take a peak at Topolino's Carbon-core spoked CX 2.0 rollers. They were nearly f'ing indestructible under normal use, even in crap conditions and they do a booty good when it comes to soaking buzz... There are loads of wheels in the $1200-1300 range where you'll find the CX 2.0... But not many that have the visual pop that these do, as well as the combination of (low) weight, stiffness and buzz kill. Add durability to the mix and you have a pretty nice set up."

"Prepare to tell the story of Topolino wheels - you will be asked about them whenever you encounter another rider. They are very beautiful, and at the same time quite unusual. If you take full advantage of their performance benefits, your admirers will have to pedal very, very fast in order to view your CX2.0 wheels up close. Topolino's novel design delivers speed and comfort. Race them, or burn up a century; either way, you will be a winner."

"They are light and made of different stuff, which make them a combination tech weenie / weight weenie one-two punch. What they bring along with the looks factor and the weight is durability.

I can't find rider weight limits on Topolino's site, but I would call these wheels tough and possibly the big man's dream wheel, as nothing weighing in at 1400 grams should be this durable.

Maybe the best combination of low weight and durability make them the first very light wheel I would ever consider suggesting to bigger guys (contact Topolino for exactly how big though). I tried like hell to blow ‘em out and didn't even get 'em out of true I also like that they stand out in a crowd, making them a great mate to a top dollar bike as well as a stand out part on more run of the mill gear."

“Over an extended testing period that included all weather conditions and varying quality road surfaces, the Topolino 700c clincher wheelset performed extremely well. Even after 10,000 km, truing wasn't necessary…”

"The front wheel is claimed to weigh 590g, while the rear is 800g for a total of 1390g per pair. We measured them at 600g and 812g respectively for a total of 1412g per pair. That's one hell of a light set of clinchers."

"The V39s, due to their 40mm deep rim, lateral stiffness and aero spokes, will make an outstanding set of racing wheels for any triathlon, regardless of the course or weather. The two most important aspects of a tri bike is its efficiency (converting your cranking power into forward motion) and its aerodynamics. The combination of the V39's efficiency and aerodynamics may put them in a new class for spoked wheels of any rim depth. I, furthermore, wouldn't be surprised if they ended up being very stiff competition for disc or carbon spoked wheels in real world tests, which would factor in efficiency, climbing, side winds and the like."

“We have previously praised Topolino’s C19 aluminum rimmed clincher wheels here at TgR.  Since they are so good and I have plenty of experience using tubular tires, even for everyday training, I just had to get a set of its V39s.  I’ve now been riding them for about two months and having an absolute blast.   These wheels are real difference makers.”

“Topolino has entered the wheel market at the top and knocked one out of the park with their clincher. It is lightweight, strong, and sexy - well, sexy is subjective, but I like 'em! They ride very well, without a hint of speed wobble or flex.”
