Neutron wheels were conceived as specialist wheels for climbs and long-distance racing where the rider requires comfort as well as performance. Both rims have been lightened between the zones of insertion of the spokes, in that section of the rim where diameters can be reduced without diminishing sturdiness. It isn't a time trial on the hills or a century ride without Neutron.

The profile has been optimized to increase resistance to lateral flex.
The hubs used by the Neutron run on adjustable 15-ball precision bearings.

Furthermore, the rear rim is drilled asymmetrically to permit recovery of the difference of the spoke tension on the left-hand side compared with the right.
