I would disagree.
Think of a figure skater spinning ... when she pulls her arms in, she will spin faster.
I have tried Mavic Open Pros on my bike. As opposed to my Shimano 7701s, the OPs do not accelerate nor climb as well. Cruising up to 20 mph, I notice NO difference between the OPs and the 7701s. From 22-26 mph, there is a noticeable difference - the 7701s are hands down better.
I would hope so; they're much more expensive, are stiffer, and have more mass centered at the hub than the rim.
Best.
