Always get 50mm deep with big external for aero benefit (28/30mm) for 30mm tyres. Go tubeless. Can do this for about 700£ nowadays. This video sucks.

    For those who don’t know;
    Roval = Specialized
    Cadex = Giant
    Oquo = Orbea
    Zipp = SRAM
    Hunt = Independent
    Princeton = Independent
    ENVE = Independent
    Notes: Enve previously used DT Swiss and Chris King hubs, not Mavic, and they do not share engineers with Mavic, and have no relation to Mavic except being owned by the same investment firm for a short period while Mavic was circling the drain.
    Weird choice not including the Reserves and Bontragers given the inclusion of Cadex and Specislized. The Reserves are the closest second to the ENVEs, wide profiles, but hooked, and a fair bit cheaper.

With the latest iteration of ENVE wheels, they are using a newly developed InnoDrive hub with their newly poached Mavic engineers and dropped Chris King and i9 as optional suppliers.

    great vid, my new favorite wheelset are my ENVE 3.4s, but to be honest I wanted 4.5s. I went down because I found some on sale $1000USD off. The 3.4s are amazing, buttery smooth with 29/31 tires, you get speed, comfort and extra cornering grip all in one setup, no compromises other than the hefty hit to the wallet. I know there are some "never hookless" riders out there but I've not had a problem with mine coming off or mounting, they just worked out of the box for me.

  • @690MBCOMMANDO

    I have most of these wheels and my favorites in the following order:
    1) Roval CLX II Team (DT180 hubs with ceramic SINC bearings in team version, differentiated front/rear depth very stable in crosswinds, lightest, stiff and hooked for higher PSI)
    2) NSW 454 (great all around but a little heavier than the CLXII Team and hub is good but not as good as DT180s, also deeper front wheel not as good in cross wind)
    3) ENVE 4.5 (better in the crosswind than 454's but hubs are not as good as the cognitions)

  • @oliverjacobs8594
    @oliverjacobs8594 Месяц назад +5

    It would be interesting to see how a custom wheel build out would compare. You could get a wheelset several hundred grams lighter at the same depth for about half the price of any of these wheelsets, and it would be interesting to see what if any disadvantages it would have. An example would be Duke baccara slr 48's+extralite hubs+generic aerodynamic carbon spokes coming in at about 1080 grams (1130 w/56mm depth). This would cost roughly 2000 euros, so still certainly in "dream wheel territory".

      Farsport custom build carbon spoke wheels from their Wheelsfar site is even better, and lighter. Mine 40mm, 24/30 are 1,135g. 50mm are around 1,200g ;)

    The wheels with the currently best specs at least are the Scope Artech 6. 65 mm at 1244g. That is the best combination of aero and weight. There are shallower options as well for those not wanting to go with 65 mm. They are also very expensive.
    The Syncros (Scott) Capital SL also have better specs. Both are not even brand new.
    So this entire review is rather immediately dated to put it mildly.

    • @MrHallTV
      @MrHallTV Месяц назад +1

      Tour magazine includes the data, your suspicion is correct that there is not much in it between well designed wheels in terms of drag. Stiffness and weight is where they find difference and both of those will impact climbing and feel.

    • @RyonBeachner
      @RyonBeachner Месяц назад

      @@mejdrichj There isn’t much difference if any when comparing wheels of more or less the same dimensions.
      A 50-55 mm deep “U” section wheel, with a 23 mm internal width, and a 28 mm external width, laced to a DT Swiss hub, with a flat blade spoke, will perform on par with most every wheel in this test.

    I'm surprised DT Swiss and Campagnolo wheels aren't on this list. They're all comparable in price at the high end. IMO, Zipp, and ENVE are overrated and overpriced. I all but gave away my Foundation 65s, and I can't get on board with these huge internal rim widths and their insistence on peddling hookless wheels.

    Personally I think the Roval Rapide CL2 is hard to beat, £1000 less than the CLX and only weighs 60 grams more, and it’s the same rim which is the rotating mass that matters!
