Minimal Impact on Range
Notice that the inside wall is completely solid. The wheel has a taper to it (one side is bigger than the other) for two reasons:
- Reduce rolling resistance when cruising straight.
- Massive grip and turn-in response in a corner.
When you're going straight, you have a smaller contact patch and you're riding on the solid part of the wheel. So it mimics a road bike. Small contact area and low rolling resistance. However, when you start carving, you unlock more grip because the wheel folds over and exposes more contact patch (65mm).
