Weight1140g
CategoryWheels

The AERORAPTOR ULTRA 23L wheelset receives positive reviews for its low weight, quality construction, and value, though there are occasional issues with missing parts and setup challenges. Users report significant weight savings and improved stiffness over previous wheels, with some noting a firmer ride compared to steel-spoked wheels.

Pros

  • Very light weight (around 1180g) and saves significant weight compared to previous wheels (almost 400g).123
  • High-quality construction and beautiful appearance.2
  • Stiff and lively feel during acceleration and cornering due to carbon spokes.1
  • Excellent value for money at under 600 EUR (or around 485 EUR).13
  • Good communication with seller (Matter) and prompt responses.14
  • Improvement over DT Swiss ARC 1400 wheels (per girlfriend's feedback).3

Cons

  • One order missing the ratchet in the freehub body; seller agreed to ship replacement but process was slow.4
  • Tubeless valves supplied were both same length, too short for 60mm rear rim.4
  • Tires (Conti 5000) are very difficult to mount; recommended not to install straight from box.2
  • Rear wheel is very loud (ratchet sound).2
  • Ride feel is less compliant than steel spokes, though not harsh.1

Key Facts

  • Claimed weight 1160g without rim tape; measured 1177g with rim tape (50mm depth).1
  • Weighs 1180g without rim tape for 50mm depth.23
  • Internal width 23.5mm, external width 31mm (for 45mm depth version).1
  • Uses 3.5mm carbon spokes and a DT Swiss Ratchet clone (54T ratchet).13
  • Rim bed has holes and is covered with Kapton-like tape.1
  • Available with steel or ceramic bearings; steel bearing version weighs 1177g with tape.1

Ich hab für meine Freundin die Tagoola/AeroRaptor AR 50mm Laufräder mit 3.5mm Carbon Speichen bestellt. Erster Eindruck sehr positiv. 1180g ohne Felgenband, 23.5mm IW, DT Swiss Ratchet Klon. Freundin meinte spürbare Verbesserung gegenüber den DT ARC1400. Lieferzeit ca. 1 Monat, umgerechnet etwa 485€. Muss morgen mal nach dem Putzen Fotos machen.

Today I received a custom order I made 8th of october. Order was these wheels but with a 60 rear and 50 front. 2 Mistakes inside the order, 1 major which is they forgot the ratchet inside the freewheel body, second is minor but kind of annoying, the tubeless valves are both the same length and for the 60mm rear only a little bit of the valve is showing. Talked about it with Matter, he told me he was going to ship a new ratchet for me and it would take approximatly 1 week to get to me. Asked him if I could get one locally to speed up process, originally said yes and when I confirmed with him with the quote a local bike shop told me he then said it was too expensive, which I part of agree when you compare with price of ratchet on aliexpress (it was 75 euros for a 36T one). Then he told me he was reaching out of a connection he had in my country (france) to try to figure it all out as quick as possible. This is still where we are now. I expect to have an answer tomorrow morning. Otherwise quality seems good, packaging was ok but not the best. Will keep you updated once I know more

Sharing my recent experience with Tagoola, ordered two wheelsets from them through AliExpress:

Aeroraptor RP PRO, 23.5mm internal, 31mm external, 45mm deep
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009041517854.html
Opted for the steel bearings, weight is 1177g (with rim tape) vs the 1160g advertised without tape
Wheels are mounted on a BMC Roadmachine and shaved off almost 400g over my previous 50mm carbon wheel with steel spokes (Scribe Aero, 4 years old).
Same as above: requested no decals and spare spokes (2 shipped), rim bed with holes and covered with Kapton like tape.
This is my first carbon spoke wheelset (spoke width 3.5mm), I would not say it is a harsh ride feel, but it feels less compliant as steel spokes.
On the other hand, because of less weight and the stiff spokes, the wheels feel more stiff when accelerating and more lively when riding and cornering compared to my previous wheelset.
After vouchers and with seller's shipping method (including delivery & tax to Europe, Germany) these were <600 EUR.

Can not speak much about crosswind performance or long term relaibility, only done a few rides on each of the wheels.
Communication with Matter and the team was excellent and prompt.
Hard to believe there are better wheels, most definitely not at this price point - clear recommendation from my side.
