WORTH IT? An HONEST Lún Hyper 50 Wheelset Review

My honest thoughts after riding and racing this $1300 Chinese-made wheelset: the Lún Hyper 50D. Carbon spokes, ceramic bearings, 50mm rims - but are they REALLY worth the money? And are they good enough to compete with bigger brands?

This review and riding footage was filmed in Girona, Catalunya, Spain; a cycling mecca that has been home to many professional cyclists including Ben O'Connor, Jack Haig, Esteban Chaves, Ryan Mullen, George Bennett, James Knox, Dorian Godon, Jay Vine, and at one point George Hincappie, Lance Armstrong and Tyler Hamilton. Girona is used for training for races such as the Tour de France, Volta Catalunya, Vuelta Espana, Paris-Nice, Giro d'Italia and more. Teams such as INEOS-Grenadiers, Israel-Premier Tech Pro Cycling, Human Powered Health, Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team, UAE Team Emirates and others use Girona for team training camps and rider testing.
