Get Yourself Wheels That Do It All
Vision's Metron 40 TL Disc is the tactical wheel essential to your quiver. The Metron 40 TL is an "all-around" wheelset built to take you from climbing all the way to gravel or CX. Victorious on the Cyclocross course, the cobbles of the spring classics, and the torturous mountain stages in the Pro peloton, this wheelset can handle whatever you put them through.
This handmade wheel features the most advanced Vision carbon technology coupled with state-of-the-art manufacturing processes for ultimate lightness. The result is an ultrafast and stable aero wheel developed through extensive CFD analysis and wind tunnel testing.
For the PRS Hub, the Helical Clutch ratchet with 72T equals a 5 degree engagement angle. This ends up as 24% faster engagement than the previous Vision 6-pawl and DT 54T/6.6 degree. The PRS increases durability all while reducing loss of power engagement under load.

Reviews
Vision Metron wheels are used by the pro peloton. This 40mm depth version is the predecessor to the Metron SL 45, which I've been lusting after for the past few months. However, considering I wanted to upgrade the (aluminum) DT Swiss R460 wheelset that came stock on my 2018 Ridley Carbon X-Trail, I was super stoked to see this 40mm Metron wheelset on sale for an incredible $845. Sign me up. The unboxing told the story I wanted to hear. Wheelbag? Check. QR skewers and adapters (in case you need these)? Check. Tubeless valves and tape? Check. The wheels themselves were wrapped in a fabric protective case, and then inside a plastic bag, and then safely ensconced in a side-by-side cardboard and foam board carrier inside the sturdy cardboard shipping carton. Everything arrived to my address in Texas in perfect condition. These wheels will save me almost 16 ounces of rolling weight on my Ridley, and I can hardly wait to test them out. Oh, one last thing: my Ridley wheels were setup with 6-bolt disc brakes vs. centerlock, which is what these new Metron wheels feature too. So, it saved me even more time and money. Truly a 5 star product and deal.
