If you're looking to upgrade your road bike wheel set, tubeless is the way to go. They're lighter and roll smoother than tubular tires, plus allow for lower air pressures that reduce rolling resistance.However, it's important to know how they work and what's required for a successful installation. Unlike MTB tubeless wheels, which have valve stems, road tubeless rims don't need tape. Instead, spoke nipples are fed into the rim and pulled into place by magnets. In addition, a 14mm wide (measured in the 25C model)  belt provides a lightweight and cut-resistant layer directly under the tread to help protect against punctures.It's now easier than ever to use tubeless without having to worry about the hassle of sourcing and assembling a rim and sealant. As a result, many of the professional cyclists .

The tyre also features a new GRIPTON T2 compound, which  says delivers "enhanced Silica binding efficiency" to its fixed polymer chains, for increased grip. The wheelset includes a new rim designed with a wide hookless bead that reduces pinch flat risk and features an aerodynamically optimized tire to maximize performance in any environment.The SES AR 27mm tubeless tire was developed specifically to compliment the rim shape and improve upon the aerodynamic performance of legacy SES wheels as well as current generation SES and Foundation wheel models for road racing, time trial, and triathlon. These high-volume road tires are the ideal all-road tire for inspiring confidence and providing speed and efficiency without sacrificing rolling resistance or stability in windy conditions.

All SES and SES AR rims are tested in-frame at multiple wind angles and speeds ranging from 20 mph (32 kph) to 30 mph (48 kph) to deliver real world aero performance advantages to cyclists of all abilities. This testing is key to delivering our SES promise of  every rider.The 303S is  most budget-friendly tubeless-compatible road bike wheel set. It's designed to handle tyres up to 50mm wide while still offering excellent on-road performance and speed.The wheelset is laced to  3-pawl 76/176 front/rear hubs with 24 bladed spokes in a two-cross pattern. Its rims are made from brass, which is stronger and more corrosion-resistant than aluminum.Internal rim width is 23mm on the 303S, which establishes it among the benchmark road wheelsets on the market. The rims can also handle 25mm tyres.The rims use a hookless bead that greatly simplifies the rim construction and strengthens it against inevitable impacts. The rim bed has also been shaped to make it easier to fit and remove tire without needing a compressor.
