RS-X / RS-5V
F | 20" x 9.5" | 21.6 lbs
R | 21" x 12" | 26.1 lbs

Both options can be pushed further as well, through design tweaks and changes.

Thank you. Being all forged wheels nowadays use T6 Al what parameters are left to tweak on a fixed design like RS-X/RS-5V w/o affecting rigidity? some minor cutouts/undercuts, thickness of spokes...I assume barrel has to stay with the thickness it is?

Yes exactly. Design generally takes precedence, but with the least amount of spokes, and just enough tensile strength, you can push lighter. It's not much, but some people do care about that .1-.3lbs. Cutouts on spokes actually don't decrease weight from what I've tested at least not from the overseas market. The cutouts require more to be added elsewhere if wanted to keep safe, which in turn makes the wheel just as heavy if not heavier.
