I ride the Krysium Elites and 25 mph cross winds don't effect the ride much. I've been over a tall bridge with steady 35 MPH winds from the side and gusts to 45 MPH. I found the bladed spokes and semi aero rims kept the bike in line with my center of gravity, much better than having the top part, me, being blown off the centerline and having to keep doing major adjustments to the wind. considering my Six13 team 2 weighs 17.5 Lbs it handles cross winds really well with the krysium wheels.
