I would love to hear your thoughts on these wheels, I think they have come a long way from there original design and also I love the new look of the non butterfly weave, but the price raise does it make them the wheel of choice??? I am excited to see how the wheels perform with the new inner width 23mm. Let me know if you have any questions at all and if you are interested in the wheels feel free to use the discount code for 10 percent off "gcperformance10" at checkout

I get Winspace has been getting more reputable throughout the years but I would say they’re getting too comfortable charging at the prices they’re charging. I feel like if you’re paying that much a lot of consumers will say “I might as well get a big name brand instead at this point.”

All these chinese brands are getting greedy. Winspace have shot themselves in the foot with this price increase.

Yeah this was not the move Winspace....CRWs look more appealing for the price.

For that price, I’ll take the CRW’s

this is why joe at panda podium left winspace

Based on all my wheels with 23mm internal width, a 28C Continental GP5000 will balloon out to 30mm measured at the tire. These wheels only have a 28.4mm external width. I'm curious why didn't Winspace opt for 30mm external for better wheel to tire transition.

Velo9 with great hubs cost less than 1000 USD, with promo code around 900. If you want more internal width, go for Velo9 gravel wheelset, 25/26 mm internal width, 45 mm depth, and only 1350 grams. That's without carbon spokes, and good for 15 cm jumps.

The irony with Winspace’s pricing of the new wheels is that in some of their recent social media advertising, they point out and attempt to capitalize on the fact that bicycle industry prices have become so inflated! Maybe the new version 3’s should be renamed HYPO-CRIT”.

In terms of pricing, China has been experiencing deflation for a couple of years so in fact, prices should be coming down not going up. I have a feeling that many Chinese companies are going to start pricing themselves out of business.

Sadly, they have become too expensive to consider.

Farsports offer a much better value proposition for their carbon spoke wheels with in-house hubs. I have a set of Lun Hyper 23 wheels and I like them a lot, but I wouldn’t pay $1,699 for the new version 3’s even with a 10% discount.

I've got a set of the new Elite Wheels Helix 68Ds and they cost $1599. They basically have the same specs interms of spoke thinkness and by the looks of it they have the same bearings and weigh less and for the same money, I can buy Bora WTOs. For $1700, you're only really getting a wider internal rim width and a heavier wheel in comparison. FYI - Im in Asia at the moment and the rachet hub is pretty much everywhere and I have a wheel set that has 3.3mm carbon spokes, exact same bearings and hub (52t), 21mm internal, 50mm deep and a 5 year warrenty and they cost me less than $800. I cant see where the extra $1000 is coming in. I think that with the new products being released out of China, their prices are pushing their products into the range of equipment that is being used in world tour races. IE: Reserve 52/63 w/DT350 hubs cost $1799. I think that China wheels as fantastic as the top tier stuff is, they should stay in the $1000 - $1500 range. That is their niche and their niche is the appealing price. Im not hating on Chinese wheels or frames, I exclusively recommend Chinese frames and wheels to everyone asking about upgrading or wanting to get into the sport. I love Chinese products from the top players in the game.

I'll stick with Elitewheels as my Chinese provider for the moment. 1700 is what I make in 3 months 😅.

I have a pair of LUN Hyper R45 Rim brake and have been using them for over seven months now. They have been great, no issues at all. I bought them on a Black Friday special, so I'm especially pleased with the price as well. As for the sparse grease found in the free hub during the video, if I was servicing the hub I would be more generous with the grease, however, the ratchet wheels are the only part of the hub that moves so functionally there would be no issues with the ratcheting of the hub and worst case it would need servicing sooner. Also, the bearings are sealed so no grease is needed on the exposed bearing. I'm so happy with my LUN wheels that I will very likely buy a pair of the Hyper3's for my next bike. Obviously a promotion like Black Friday would sweeten the deal, but the discount code in the video is a pretty good start. I went to the websites of the wheels mentioned in the comments and saw none of them that were 23mm internal width. Seems like if a person is going to buy a new set of wheels, getting the most advanced available is a good move.

Everyone had to know once they started sponsoring a world tour level team, they werent going to move up in price. They are reliable, have 80 shops centers is the usa, and are well known. I think the chinese market alone is enough to keep them busy and selling wheels. I have 2 road sets, and 1 gravel set. I know are lighter, but these giys make a trusted product.

In my opinion, the aesthetics are great. Their quality reputation is well established. The quality and components are a very good match for the 'name brands', as is the 'technology'. The price to me reflects the product, in the market today. Summary NICE wheels, but perhaps CRW still has the edge

They were good for quality/price combo, but not anymore. I own 1 gen of Hypers.

Price is to high ,I have previous version amazing wheels but cant see me to pay extra 500$ for it , will probably buy CRW instead

Please do a comparison test between CRW and Hyper 🙏🏼 thank you

Not worth it

That's good they've increased the internal rim width. That was the only issue I had with my old winspace wheelset.

I have the 45 and the 67 I don't see the need to update. Looks good

I love my Gen 2 D67's, but with the price increase, I'd probably be going with Zipp or Enve just for the local dealer support at this point.

So you get a $1700 wheelset that immediately needs to be serviced with grease🤷🏻‍♂️

I have a set of the original Hyper 50s, they are a great wheel .. 28k on them & still run perfectly well. Love the new upgrades & looks but not their crazy overloaded price tag 😢

I crashed my first gen hyper and I wrote it off as a loss. I spent a little more on Zipp in case of that happening again. These would standout if they were 29 outer and 23 inner rim break wheels on the market which will make them one of a kind but they went away from that old tech too like the big brands.

My gen 1 hpyer rim brake wheels that I've had for 3 years have had to be trued about 4 times now. Not sure if that's normal with any wheels, but I'll be looking somewhere else for my next set. Especially at this price.

Christ. I can't keep up with all these new carbon wheels since I bought the original hypers a few years ago. Looks like chinese wheel companies have gotten too comfortable with pricing. I'd rather get mainstream wheels that offer lifetime warranty for the same price.

I would have liked to know if the spokes locked in position to prevent twist. At the hub flange and rim. And that they didn't contact where they cross.

They are still behind the times: Enve, Zipp, and Reserve has been at 25 mm internal for years (and the last 4 Grand Tours at least have been won on this width).

Have you heard if this type of wheels are taking market shares from big names as the quality has increased so much ??

Let's go CRW bois

people are complaining about the price increase and saying then for that money they can buy big western named brands... what they dont see is, the quality of those wheels. Winspace have been always top of the range wheels quality wise. And yes, they are pricey but atleast, they have the quality to back up the prices, although below 1400€/$ would still be fine. Enve/Zipp/Princeton etc. are not better quality wise

Le problème c’est qu’en France on trouve des dt swiss arc 1100/swisside hadron et Roval rapide cl pour 100€ de plus et ce sont des roues exceptionnelles ! De plus c’est valorisant pour la revente,mon amis a fait reprendre un wilier zéro slr Astana dessus il y avait des hyper et personne n’en voulait alors qu’il aurait eu une marque plus connue ça se serait fait rapidement. On est une niche de passionnés à bien connaître ces roues mais les cyclistes lambda pour eux c’est méfiance . Hyper pourra mettre facilement ce genre de prix qd ils équiperont une équipe world tour. Certains disent les CRW sont mieux…non elles sont plus légère mais visiblement elles ne sont pas top en vent de travers et sont moins rigides que des Roval rapide à rayons acier,le poids n’est pas tout je préfère des hyper ultra solide et tranchantes au niveau de la direction en descente pour 200gr de plus. Je roule les Roval rapide et leur 1530gr dont une rigolade à emmener même sur du 15%. Je pense les hyper à la hauteur de leur prix mais il faut absolument qu’ils équipent une équipe pro pour que tout le monde pense celà ,les consommateurs sont comme ça.

not wide enough external... this is 2024 Lun

I'm sure these are good, but that's a lot for Chinese direct wheels.

They are no longer budget wheels, winspace sponsored woman continental team now and as what other manufacturers do, the price will started to increase across all sku.

1700$ turnoff

I'm still enjoying my 2nd gen R45 Hyper wheels that I've purchased for 1,200 USD, worth IMO, I'm looking to Buy another set but 1,700 is too much, I'd be happy with buying the 2nd gen but those are a little too pricey as well now, it's disappointing, I may have to look elsewhere.

Magene exar ultra d508 the win.

Hey buddy, I own two pairs of wheels: a Fulcrum Racing Zero carbon Disk 30mm and Campagnolo Bora WTO Disk 45 mm. Do you really believe that these Chinese wheels (Winspace, Elite, Craftwork, Farsports,...) are up to the task and in terms of quality, performance, efficiency, guarantee... Only Italian wheels? Thank you for your attention. kind regards. Alain

GC are they hooked? Wheels…?

The Reserve Wheels are just €200 more expensive.

With those prices, at least, in Europe, does not make sense to be considered as a good deal. You can find top models from known brands such as DtSwiss or similar. They will need to reduce significantly the prices or include wind tunnel test and more data about efficiency.

So no more rim brake wheel updates :(

For $1700, you’d think that’d buy you some grease in the ratchets. 😂

Nice wheels. How’s their balance?

The white logos 🤢, weight & price 🤦‍♂️

looks Disc only? Goodbye Rim brakes then :| Don't think the hub sounds better than the previous versions. 13:20, is the KZfaqr hype suddenly ending?

winspace have priced themselves out of the market. Especially with that weight, they have nothing going for them

I went to the Elite wheels website and got a virus. I'm leaning towards Hunt. In case things go down and I can't get parts from China. My budget is 1200. 1500 is just a stretch. I'm sure hell am not pay 3 grand for a gravel wheelset though too 😂

$1444 with Fathersday coupon.

I have hyper 23 se d45 and it was 810 usd last black Friday and I love it. It is stable in wind and roll fast. The hyper 2023 for 1500 (1350 with discount) was already too $$$ for me as the difference is almost none. Hyper 3 is just too much and most of the ppl who look at winspace wants great products for less.

Way to much money, i think winspace are trying to capitalise now they have been excepted into the market. Unfortunatly my experience has been mixed. I supported the brand as they catered at what i beleive is a fair / value product but there bearings are crap, the hubs do not provide adaquate protenction for any bearing when wet so your lucky to get more that 1k miles before replacing, winspace offer to replace them foc but want the consumer to cover shipping which is more that buying a premium enduro or ntn bearing locally. I wont be buying any winspace products again im sorry!

18gram only

I’ll stick with Hunt, good price and includes lifetime crash replacement.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Ask Scooter what *Hyper Hyper* means😂 These wheels are wack.

Extremely heavy for a carbon spoke wheelset, it's easily 100-200g too heavy before even starting to compete with the lightest hoops, and it's extremely overpriced. You can contact any OEM like Farsports, yuanan, carbon speed, and a solid other dozen, get exactly the spec you want, and it will cost you potentially HALF, AND weigh less. It's actually shocking.

2024, the bare minimum internal rim width is 25mm imo. Not a fan of the carbon spoke.

Winspace ain’t it anymore. 9Velo is way better value.

Huge missed opportunity here. They should have gone to an external width of at LEAST 32mm. By increasing the internal width it just means a tyre will come up a bit bigger than before and therefore reduce the aerodynamics. CRW or Exar look a better bet than these.

the black finish is so boring...

You want to know how I feel? 🤮🤮
