Hi, I came off my bike and trashed my hollowgram knot 64 which came with my 2020 systemsix.

The insurance company has offered me Hollowgram R-SL 64 both front and rear. Is this a legit like-for-like replacement, or even an upgrade? I can't see them sold anywhere...

I don't think there is such a thing as R-SL.
I would guess you can assume it's Knot 64 SL.

According to insurance company;

Cannondale have updated the Knot64 and they are being superseded by the Cannondale R-SL 64.

The new top of the line wheels that come with the new SuperSix Evo are the Hollowgram R-SL 50's which are a 50mm deep wheel. Perhaps Cannondale is rebranding the Knot 64's, though I've not seen that branding used before.

2020 Trek Emonda SLR-7 Disc - 6.86kg

These sound exactly like the old knot 64. I think it's a rebrand.

Also which insurance plan did you have to insures your wheels?

I don't recall if Knot 64 got DT Swiss EXP or regular hub. I believe systemsix was released before EXP.

Also interested in insurance.

Ah yea it was out before EXP hubs. So that was the chnage + rebrand. As the weight is exactly the same so none of the structural bits changed.

Yellow jersey is the insurance. I had crash, busted the frame, fork and rims which they're replacing entirely.
