Description

Can a wheel swap alone take my road bike from 8.3kg to sub-8kg?
Today I test the MovingSports Aim One SL1200 50D (50mm) carbon wheels, a new Chinese brand, 1265g claimed and reveal the final weigh-in.

I didn’t think I’d care about a number like this… but once you’re close, it starts to mess with your head. This build has been sitting at 8.3kg, and I kept coming back to the same question: can one wheel swap get it under 8kg without changing anything else?

Disclosure: The wheels were sent to me by MovingSports for testing. I was not paid, and all opinions are my own. No review/approval of this video was done by them beforehand.

4 other reviews for this part

The reviewer tests the MOVING AIM ONE SL1200 Ultralight wheelset, finding it lightweight (1265g for 50mm depth), responsive, comfortable, and stable in corners and wind. The wheels help achieve a sub-8kg bike weight (7.95kg). They are priced around $1,000, offering good value compared to premium brands, though durability is yet to be confirmed.

AI-Summary

Pros

  • Very lightweight at 1265g without tape and valves
  • Feels stiff and responsive out of the saddle
  • Comfortable on rough tarmac, reducing harsh vibrations
  • Stable in corners and holds line well
  • Manageable in crosswinds for 50mm depth
  • Good value at around $1,000 with three-year warranty and crash replacement program
  • Includes rim tape and tubeless valves, ready to set up

Cons

  • Freehub sound is not very loud (may be a con for those who prefer loud hubs)
  • Durability is still unproven over time
  • Mounting tires (Continental GP5000) was still a struggle
