The First Bad Move by Winspace? Lún HYPER 3 Review
The reviewer discusses the Lon Hyper 3 wheels extensively, comparing them to previous generations and other Chinese alternatives. They note improvements in crosswind stability, wider spokes, and increased internal rim width (23mm vs 21mm), but question the future-proofing due to unchanged external width (28mm). The wheels are lighter (45g), claimed to be 2.2 watts faster at 48 km/h, and offer 10% higher lateral stiffness, though the reviewer didn't notice these improvements in practice. The assembly quality is praised, but minor issues like spoke tension inconsistency and an unusual rim bump are noted. The reviewer finds the wheels stiff and durable but less comfortable on rough roads. The price increase ($200) is criticized as potentially making the wheels less competitive.
