I have owned Eve, Princeton Carbon Works, Synchros Capital SL and Scope wheels. These wheels are every bit as good as any of those if maybe not even better. They are significantly lighter and half the cost or less. The finish is beautiful and the laser etching is much nicer than decals. Bearings roll better than ceramic speed. I upgraded to the 4th generation spokes for weight reduction but after riding these I agree they absorb a lot of road buzz. And they are fast. Put them on my tarmac 7 and had my fastest time ever on a 27 mile loop I ride a couple times a week. Highly recommend them to anyone at any level of riding!
