The reviewer tests and reviews the Elitewheels Velo Six II (Vevel 6 version two) wheel set. He states that the primary issue with the original version was poor lateral stiffness, which has been significantly improved in version two, making it nearly three times as stiff without added weight. The wheels are one-piece carbon, 50mm deep, with a 21mm internal width, weighing 1628g. They are designed for triathlon and road riding, offering high aerodynamic performance, a very stiff and responsive ride, and a distinctive, loud freehub sound. However, the ride is harsh on rough roads, and they are susceptible to crosswinds. The reviewer has ridden them for over six months and praises the bearing durability and anodized aluminum axle. They are not UCI-legal for road races.

Pros

  • Looks great and is a head-turner
  • Significantly improved lateral stiffness in version two (nearly 3x stiffer than original)
  • No weight increase despite stiffness improvement
  • ...and 10 more

Cons

  • Lateral stiffness was a major issue in the original version
  • Ride is harsh on rough roads due to zero vertical compliance
  • Catches crosswinds due to large side profile, which can be unnerving
  • ...and 4 more

Key Points

  • Model: Elitewheels Velo Six II (Vevel 6 version two)
  • Cost: $1300 / ~£950 (with 15% discount available)
  • Weight: 1628g for the pair

Pros

  • Significantly cheaper (cost $1,500 vs. $3,500 for the Trek Domane SL5)
  • Comes with a carbon frame
  • Equipped with a Shimano 105 groupset

Key Points

The reviewer discusses an internal cable routing kit from the brand Rider Ace, purchased from AliExpress.

  • They never really got the included threaded adapters to work well.

"Why risk buying cheap stuff from abroad?"

We love new bike tech and follow bike brands extensively. Riding bike can be a very price intensive thing, but it can be made more accessible by saving some money, and spend it on the parts that matter mostly for you. After a couple of thousand kilometers, most buyer can determine the quality themself. Some YouTubers already have a successful history with using cheaper parts from Aliexpress or eBay. To crowdsource those experiences, we've made this site, to seperate the wheat from the chaff. To be honest, there is also a lot of crap or mediocre stuff out there, but at the same time you can find reliable and quality stuff.
