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.
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)
I have the Zipp 454 NSW with 28mm tires on currently. No issues with stability here in BC, Canada. We get lots of windy days. Lot of hill climbing around here too. The wheels have been great for two years so far.
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".
Could you do reviews/ comparisons of the Campagnolo Bora Ultras. They recently updated the Ultras with wider internal widths. And the hubs are absolutely smooth and silent, which I prefer.
I am currently using new C23 Compagnolo Bora Ultra WTO 45 …it is smooth & silent……. good for climbing & descending…..so it is ok as compared with my previous Bontrager Aerolus 51 wheel set.
I have had the Rovals for a couple of years now. Done several long distance races on them, the longest 3200km. And they still feel like new. I have used a mix of vanilla 28mm GP 5k with TPU tubes and 32mm STR tubeless. They feel amazing, though when running 32mm with low pressure somewhat negates the stiffness they have and I like. I got them because I was so satisfied with its cousin: Terra CLX; which I got about 25k kms on now. With original bearings still going strong. Considering how good of a condition they still are in, my expectations have gone up to where I will be disappointed if they last less than 100k kms. For comparison I have had bottom end Shimano and Mavic wheels last between 3-7k kms, and no name wheels 1k kms before they were trash.
Totally agree. I have several wheels from them. And have as well with their RD270 hub, and it works flawlessly. And my 40mm 24/30 weight 1.135g. Even if lets say the bearings go earlier, one simply change with high end bearings and still saves tons of money.
Quite liked the noisy hubs in my new wheels wheels at first but just find it irritating now. Older ones suddenly feel peaceful. Definitely a factor if choosing any others... If not at these prices!

I rode dt-swiss ARC1100 for 3 years, and this year i bought a set of Newmen Vonoa for 1200 euro. They're second to none and they handle crosswind better than my dt swiss. Btw, stay away from hookless, they're not meant for road bike, the specular design of the rim is a steady danger under your saddle.

Bonjour. Super vidéo. Pourquoi ne pas avoir inclus dans votre test les dernières Campagnolo BORA ULTRA WTO C23. Elles pèsent 1318 grammes (les miennes) et ont des roulements (toujours pour moi) inégalés. Bravo encore pour votre travail.
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.
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!
Probably one of the worst comparison tests I've ever seen. This is just opinion based off one person. And he just bats off every wheel because he rides Rovals. No data, no comparison with speed, doesn't mention how they "feel". Just a waste of time
Aren't all the wheels he's sponsored to run hookless? Maybe the wider tires were faster on those roads. It's my understanding that unless on a velodrome, the rolling resistance on the wider tires saves more watts than the aero benifit of the skinny ones.
@@jou3708 With all due respect, I would have preferred to find that information based on a comparison and review, rather than from a random anonymous poster who may be stating opinion with no statistics to back it up.
I wouldn't pay for any of these POS's. Fortunately, I'm not that stupid. I bought a pair of hand built Mercury aluminum wheels (made in Utah) for less than 500 bucks (including shipping) that weigh just a hair over 1500 grams. They have been bulletproof! I put them on my adventure bike and have done everything from bike packing to steep singletrack to long road rides on rough tarmac. I've never had to true them yet! Plus they'll never delaminate because they're not carbon fiber which takes a lot more energy to make and can't be recycled unlike aluminum which can be recycled forever.
You should have specified the teeth count of each ratchet in the chart (some were missing while spoken) and should have been nice to include an Asian brand to see how it stand against western known brands. Other than that nice quality video 😊. Personally I use the roval c38s due to price more than anything and the max i would use are 40-45mm.

I wouldn't pay for any of these POS's. Fortunately, I'm not that stupid. I bought a pair of hand built Mercury aluminum wheels (made in Utah) for less than 500 bucks (including shipping) that weigh just a hair over 1500 grams. They have been bulletproof! I put them on my adventure bike and have done everything from bike packing to steep singletrack to long road rides on rough tarmac. I've never had to true them yet! Plus they'll never delaminate because they're not carbon fiber which takes a lot more energy to make and can't be recycled unlike aluminum which can be recycled forever.

You should have specified the teeth count of each ratchet in the chart (some were missing while spoken) and should have been nice to include an Asian brand to see how it stand against western known brands.
Other than that nice quality video 😊.
Personally I use the roval c38s due to price more than anything and the max i would use are 40-45mm.
