What is the difference between spoked wheels and solid wheels?

[DelGage]

The differences between spoked wheels and solid wheels are as follows: 1. Appearance: Solid wheels are mainly made of magnesium alloy or carbon fiber composite, while spoked wheels are primarily constructed from carbon fiber. 2. Performance: Solid wheels are heavier than spoked wheels, and the wheel inertia benefits fast riding, making them suitable for smooth roads where speed is prioritized. They are a molded structure without welding points, offering more stable performance. They are less prone to weld cracking, deformation, or other impacts even when overloaded or frequently ridden on bumpy roads. Spoked wheel bicycles are more suitable for mountain bikes. The first 10 kilometers might be more challenging, but afterward, the shock absorption improves significantly, making the ride more effortless. Spoked wheels are durable, and if deformed, they can be adjusted back.
