The reviewer tested the YOELEO NXT SL2 C60 wheels for several weeks, comparing them to other Chinese carbon wheels. They found the wheels to offer excellent value, with great build quality, low weight (1359g total), a quiet 36-tooth ratchet hub, and a design that eliminates the need for rim tape. The wheels performed well in stiffness and comfort tests, offering a smooth ride with steel spokes, though tire installation was difficult and required a compressor. Some concerns were raised about hub durability and the complexity of spoke servicing.
