Reviews & Ratings

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.
