"After more than a year of use, I have a clear idea of these wheels. I have tested them in all conditions and compared them with other products previously used, both of well-known brands and of brands famous in the forums. The first sensation you get it is that of a wheel with an immediate response and that transmits a clean ride, followed by a remarkable smoothness. These were the first sensations, then confirmed in use by making comparison tests on the same stretches and with the same wattage and bike set-up. The real difference compared to all the other brands can be seen above all in the dirt road, where the absorption of roughness is considerable and guarantees smoothness, comfort and precision. Downhill times and PR come easily without being at the limit, because the wheel is more performing and less demanding. Another important point is solidity and resistance as it is strengthened in the most critical points when it hits stones. Maybe I'll break them tomorrow but to date, no break even though I happened to hit stones with the hoop. The increased heel gives more guarantees; obviously within the limits of logical off-road use.
I am not a technician nor a person qualified to express assessments as a professor, but the pleasure they transmit in MTB rides, especially in the battered, is so great that it does not make me regret any of the top wheels used previously "

"Spectacular wheels, after dozens of carbon wheels I can say that I have found perfection, very light at the same time strong and with not indifferent vertical absorption, I have not yet been able to find a fault. Regarding the hubs they have an embarrassing smoothness that makes you pale the ceramics I have on the BDC.
Giovanni exquisite person and technically very prepared. " Christian B.

"Good morning Giovanni, I wanted to pass on what the customer told me; he is a person who tests the suspensions for Ducati, he is a tester, he tests the suspension settings, he tests them on the track. I tell you this because he is a technician with great sensitivity. . When I have something new I always let him try it. He kept me on the phone for 10 minutes to explain all his impressions. He used to have some (top-of-the-range US brand), he has the top-of-the-range FSI, with an electronic group.(top-of-the-range US brand) left them for me in the shop to sell. He told me "yesterday I took a couple of rides, the first I just broke in doing a lot of descent, but yesterday I did 80km with 2000m of altitude difference, I really enjoyed both the ascent and the descent; take the(US top of the range brand) and sell them, because there is not the slightest comparison. Bike drastically improved both uphill and downhill, absolutely top level wheels "

"Phenomenal wheels! Deadly swoop in front of friends with the enduro, and I kept them behind! It was a pleasure, I was going downhill far beyond the XC. Downhill I don't go slow, I make the bike run really fast. Anyway. ... but what kind of wheels have you produced!! 😁

I have to do my hand well because the limit has shifted and the bike and wheels are really super stiff. "" In the changes of pace it is lightning, the pendulums come almost alone and above all at the front you have a different feeling much much more direct. "Francesco S.

"Try it today, the wheels are amazing. In the sense that if anyone had measked if wheels of less than 1.2 kg were so good I would have said "impossible". To start, they are very smooth. I already had hubs with SKF bearings but these are clearly above. When pedaling, the bike flows more. "" Today we did some enduro descents with 2 friends on long and very battered descents, I did my PR by lowering it by 10 sec. Maybe it counts for nothing but time is time. Just think that on this path in some places a lot of people go down on foot, I did it in the saddle and I went down hard on purpose to try them. The rims are perfect, we took stones, roots ... "" Normally after my rides (with new rims NDR) I always come back with a few superficial lines. These are perfect. It is evident that the hard surface resin talk works. "

"The wheels behave very well: at the front I clearly perceived the absorption capacity, but the wheel remains very directional and precise, it absorbs more than what I had before, consider that I had channel 29 in front and 30 behind, 360 rims -370g. Consider that especially at the rear I felt the previous one more rigid and more nervous, even with a full house. With yours we did the same well-known and tough routes on purpose to put them on the rope. At the end of the first descent I did not believe it. rear absorbs very well and is also very precise. I do not dare to think about comfort on a front; the wheels so they certainly give you something more. In short, the behavior of the wheels is very very very positive. I looked at them after these routes and they are perfect straight lines, they haven't moved a tenth "

"Another thing that I liked I got very strong where there was to bend, a little longer in a brawl with the other friends I tell you they saved me on a couple of trajectories and I recovered the bike very well, stuff that with other wheels in the same situation you have to pull the brakes a lot and get it back. Here instead I only drove it, so I lost nothing as I repeat to you I did the PR where I took more than 10 sec. from my usual time, on a descent we do already normally really strong, but I was able to improve further: They are perfect, the tape and valve held fast. I liked the flat valve seat immediately and it helped to hold right away.

“Never had such 5 best downhill times on a rock single track..” Carmine S.

"Finally the weather gave me the chance to try them well. I was impressed ... I was used to (German spoked wheels ed) which are super stiff. Today I was amazed. I did the same challenging descent that I always do ; consider that it has rained a lot, so it is much more battered. Watching Strava I lowered the time by 6 seconds compared to the best time on dry roads. I faced it with the same tires, so it can't be a question of tires. really to go on velvet. The surprising thing is that the bike also feels much more reactive when I get up on the pedals, and this feeling I did not expect, because theI had before were full spoke monocoque wheels which in theory should be more responsive than spoked wheels. I am super satisfied. Downhill then the hubs take away a scary thing, I was with a friend of mine who has (competing hubs ed), these go double! 2 times I heard 2 sardines uphill sounded like a shotgun. Unique smoothness. "" Second exit slightly lowered the pressure and modified fork setup, you can go everywhere "😅"

“Yesterday I did 100km .... I have to be honest I appreciate them more and more. I lowered the bars a bit ... putting 1.4 behind and also on the uphill I began to set a series of better times than in the past. Downhill, however, they are phantasmagoric .... never felt such safety! "

"Fabulous wheels .... at Capoliveri they never abandoned me. Congratulations!"Roberto D.

"The judgment is more or less always the same .. The things I liked the most are ..
1) The smoothness of the hubs ... at the slightest hint of descent they accelerate immediately !! in a really remarkable way
2) Front reactivity ... trying to push the maneuvers even at high speed it seems to be able to make angles of 90 degrees (if it were not that the centrifugal force would knock you away)
Really just "think" the curve ... and I have a Spark so with a generous steering angle so deliberately not super reactive ...
Pushing the curves at speed and having fun with the front I often lost the rear ... but I'm sure it depended on the tire ... "
"So I would say very very well ... I just miss the more technical single track release. But it will be later and drier but I have no doubt that the judgment will not change ... indeed!" Fabio P.
