The Superteam CX32 50mm Disc wheelset is a strong value proposition for budget-conscious riders, offering genuine carbon construction and solid performance at around $250-£260. However, it comes with compromises: inconsistent spoke tension, a narrow 21mm internal width, heavier weight than premium wheels, and a shorter 2-year warranty. Lab-style measurements from multiple reviewers agree on a total weight of roughly 1,481-1,538g, and while ride quality is praised, the wheels use older molds and standard components.
Pros
- Extremely good value for money at around $250-£260 including delivery12
- Ride quality is better than expected for the price; stiff enough for a genuine upgrade from aluminum wheels1
- Tubeless ready with hooked rim (can use tubes or tubeless)12
- Compatible with both centerlock and 6-bolt rotors, through axle and quick release1
- Real Superteam wheels, not fakes, made in the same factory as premium wheels2
- High-quality Toray T700 carbon rims with good transverse and radial runout of approximately 0.2mm2
- Includes drain holes to prevent water buildup, spare spokes, valve extenders, six-bolt rotor adapters12
- Hub uses 6-pawl design for better durability and sharper acceleration1
- Easy to service and replace bearings2
- 2-year warranty and Super Team has a track record1
Cons
- Spoke tension out of the box is inconsistent; several spokes fall outside 10% variance; may need adjustment1
- Inner rim width is narrow at 21mm, limiting tire size optimization for wider tires1
- Heavier than many carbon wheels at 1,481-1,538g (claimed 1,540g); weight trade-off expected at this price point12
- Carbon fiber layup is rough inside; scored 2/5 for carbon quality1
- Only 50mm rim depth available; no shallower or deeper options1
- 2-year warranty is below industry standard of 3 years; no crash replacement policy1
- UCI stickers and safety stickers are difficult to remove and look out of place1
- Not the latest design, uses outdated molds; standard carbon and overlay, not as stiff or light as premium wheels2
- Unbranded steel spokes are heavier (7g each vs. 5g for Sapim CX-Ray); steel bearings, not ceramic2
- Freewheel uses a pawl design, not star ratchet; freewheel sound is loud and annoying2
- Customs fees may apply (reviewer paid $50)1

Reviews & Ratings
11:51The reviewer evaluates the Superteam CX32 50mm Disc wheelset, which costs around £260 including delivery. He notes that while they are not fake and are made in the same factory as Superteam's premium wheels, they use older molds and standard components. He finds them to be a fantastic set of wheels for the price, with good build quality and performance, but they are heavier and less advanced than premium wheels.
23:10The reviewer bought Superteam 700C Disc Brake Carbon Wheelset from AliExpress for about $250 (after discount) and tested them extensively over 7,000-8,000 km. They find the wheels to be very good value for money, with solid performance for the price, but note several compromises including weight, spoke tension consistency, narrow internal width, and difficult-to-remove UCI stickers.
25:06The reviewer compares the Superteam Classic Pro carbon wheelset to the Elite Wheels ENT 2.0, noting that the Superteam is slightly cheaper at around $300 but has fewer rim depth options, lower carbon fiber quality, and less consistent spoke tension. The Superteam wins on weight (1481g vs 1605g) and price, but the reviewer concludes the ENT 2.0 is the better overall wheelset based on nine out of eleven criteria.
17:56The reviewer discusses the Super Team Classic 2 carbon wheelset, which is the same as the SUPERTEAM 700C Disc Brake Carbon Wheelset. He notes that it is one of the most affordable proper carbon wheelsets, costing $312 plus postage, but he bought it for $251 with a discount code. He has ridden 500-900 km on them and reviewed 15 other wheelsets for comparison. The main upgrade from the original Classic series is the hub, which now has a six-core design for more engagement points, resulting in sharper acceleration and more direct power transfer. The rims use T800 carbon fiber, contributing to a total weight of 1540g. He finds them stiff laterally and says the ride quality is not compromised. He plans to release a full detailed review soon.
I have their cheapest wheels with XDR hubs on my BMC. Zero issues for I would guess 12K km or so. Just be sure to grease everything up properly as they come dry from factory.
