Vision

This is my first set of carbon wheels so I can't really compare them to other brands. I'm upgrading from aluminum DT Swiss e1800 Splines. I've been out on a few rides now and I'm very happy. I've been consistently cutting off a 2-4 minutes of my normal ride times so, either it's a great placebo effect or these wheels are really helping.

The wheels look great on my Canyon Endurace. I set them up tubeless with some Conti GP5000 and they are silky smooth. I haven't been in any serious crosswinds yet, but they seem very solid. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase and would recommend them.

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.
