Diamond in the hub.

The PowerTap G3 Amp 35 Carbon Clincher wheelset brings together two pieces of kit that are always appropriate for any occasion in the saddle. The Amp carbon rim (actually a re-branded Reynolds) 35mm depth is ideal for virtually any conditions you might encounter. It excels on alpine climbs, sweeping descents, chip seal and stones, and long days spent alone in the wind, making 35mm the most versatile choice for a cyclist looking for aerodynamic advantages with a one-wheel quiver. The real draw of the wheelset is the diamond in the rear hub, though, PowerTap's own G3 power meter, which ensures that your efforts will be appropriately metered and monitored across a long day of effort in the saddle.


Obviously, the G3 rear hub doesn't actually involve diamonds, but it does feature eight strain gauges and a claimed +/- 1.5% accuracy rating — solid gold numbers that continue to set the industry standard. As you send watts down to the pedals, the G3 sends these numbers up to the head unit via the ubiquitous ANT+, so chances are good that your current head unit is already compatible with it. Changing the battery, updating firmware, or servicing the unit can all be effected in minutes with the use of PowerTap's handy little tool, making this one of the most home mechanic-friendly power meters on the market.


As we noted above, the Amp rim is actually built buy Reynolds but with some PowerTap branding laid over the top. The result is a price drop in the four-digit range when compared with G3-equipped carbon hoops from manufacturers whose decals add a premium to cost. The wheels are anything but bargain bin, though. In addition to the depth's versatility, the Amp 35s feature the same slightly rounded spoke face that's become so common across the industry for its ability to temper the violent lateral forces of crosswinds and yaw angles.


The rims also adopt the increased width of more expensive models, sitting at a healthy internal width of 17mm. Wider rims increase structural integrity while also letting the tire bead sit wider than on rims with a more common internal width of around 15mm. This allows for more tire volume and a larger contact patch with the road, resulting in lower rolling resistance, more confident cornering in all conditions, straighter sidewalls that better deform around obstacles in the road, and the opportunity to indulge in a little low-PSI fetish for a cushier, more supple road feel that doesn't sacrifice efficiency. Finally, and despite the cost savings, the G3 hub-equipped Amp 35s weigh in at a claimed 1,617g—virtually the same as the more common, more expensive options.
