What is the Reynolds Vibration Management System (VMS)?
Reynolds engineers have employed sophisticated computer modeling of road vibration and layup iterations to create a proprietary layup schedule designed to absorb uncomfortable frequency vibration feedback from the riding surface. At the same time, they’ve managed to balance that damping effect without compromising lateral stiffness, acceleration, feedback, and overall rim strength. According to Reynolds engineer Peter Turner, “the basis for this principle is to capitalize on the anisotropic properties (a material that presents different characteristics when measured in different directions) of carbon fiber material as the optimum choice for building wheels.” That’s a lot of technical language that simply means, Reynolds VMS results in wheels that produce faster response with each power stroke, quicker acceleration, greater lateral stiffness and control, and a more comfortable, less fatiguing ride with each passing mile.
