Elitewheels Drive Helix 68D SS Road Bike Wheels
5/ 5

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