Vision

METRON RS 60 Wheelset

Replaced my PrincetonCW PK4550 w/ these

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Replaced my Princeton Carbonworks Peak 4550 with these Current setup: Orbea Orca OMX/SRAM AXS Red --- I loved my $4k Princetons, except for the fact that having bought them only a couple of years ago, the 19mm internal width became dated pretty quickly. That capped me at 26mm tires. The only thing I really miss about the Princetons is they could be run tubeless tape-free since they weren't drilled. These are just as literally stiff. What I love about the Vision RS 60s: *Weight, weight, weight” or the lack of it! 1390g per set, for real. *23mm internal width - my Conti STR 30s measure out to 31.5mm. Since the wheels external measure 33mm wide, no issue. I might even try a 28mm on the front next time. *Group rides at 22~24mph - these just roll. Honestly, I keep finding myself creeping too close to the wheel in front without even trying. hate that shot of adrenaline when it's a near miss LOL. I seriously have to be cautious because they move faster than you realize. *Climbing - these don't feel like 60s when going uphill. Almost feel like I’m being pushed up rollers. *Engagement' very fast. *NOT Hookless' had no interest in it, and these satisfy that. I really believe true hookless will disappear in road cycling. *Proven pedigree - these wheels have been raced and proven at the highest level of pro cycling. Do I wish they had some visible colored graphics? Yes. Do I think about that once I'm moving? Not at all. Some reviews mention the hubs being loud. But are they any louder than DT Swiss? Not really. What I do notice is the sound of the aero spokes'but honestly, if I wanted quiet, I'd sit on the trainer, put in earbuds, and turn on ANC. Bottom line: these are an incredible value. Maybe the best value in high-end wheels? Why not 5 stars? Because maybe there are better wheels out there I haven't ridden yet, like the Scope Artech? Oh, and I still wish they had some more graphics. 😏
