Nice competition set at a great price.

- Hugo, 21 March, 2025

After about 4500km very satisfied. Used wheels in my BMC Teammachine, on all different terrain. Two weeks climbing in Spain up to wind force 5 on the dyke. For depth they are quite stable, in that fairly comparable to the Scope R5.A (57mm) I had before. Had few problems with fast and windy descents in Spain, but with very strong winds on the dike I prefer lower wheels. Low weight, hubs are also good so far. 28mm P-Zero are almost 29mm due to the relatively wide internal width. I personally find it a plus to have a lower wheel at the front than at the back.

Pros & Cons

DT Swiss style ratchet
Rigid
Wide so stable
With strong winds, deep wheels are less

Great looks, super fast, at a neat price!

I have had the wheels for just under 3 months now and have ridden about 4000km on them, including a week of climbing in Spain. It was quite windy at the coast, but still these wheels were a lot more stable than my old 55 mm deep carbon wheels. The wheels move quickly due to the light rim combined with the 36T ratchet (very similar to Dt swiss 350 hubs). I swap the wheels between my road bike and TT bike, and in both cases they perform super, and that for under 1500 grams. No drawbacks so far, bearings are still super smooth after 4000km!

Pros & Cons

Good 36T ratchet (also fits 54T)
Smells very good
Very light for 68 deep wheels
Very stable in crosswinds
Loud ratchet (you have to love it)
Very glossy for my matt bike though
