Surprisingly Good Wheels You Never Heard About [Up-Vine Pro+ Review]
Cyclists Hub | Petr Minarik
November 19, 2024
Watch my review of the Up-Vine Pro+ 50mm wheels to determine whether they are worth it. I have thoroughly tested them both indoors and outdoors to assess their strengths and weaknesses.
I examined their lateral and radial trueness, checked spoke tension and inside of the rim, and put them to the test on different terrains.
Additionally, I compared them to other Chinese carbon wheel alternatives such as Lún HYPER 3, Lún MEGA, Elitewheels DRIVE, and more.

Created: March 29, 2026The reviewer found the UpVine PRO+ wheels to be among the best Chinese carbon wheels he has tested, with excellent balance between stiffness, handling, and stability. He was impressed by the packaging, attention to detail, and performance, but noted they are expensive compared to alternatives and had some minor issues.
AI-Summary
Pros
- Premium packaging with separate boxes and no duct tape
- Includes charts with handwritten spoke tension information
- Carbon spokes and steel bearings (prefers quality steel over cheap ceramic)
- Excellent spoke tension results (best he's ever recorded)
- Good hub centering/dishing
- High-quality internal rim structure with no major wrinkles or leftover epoxy
- Excellent balance between stiffness, handling, and stability
- Quick acceleration that feels instantaneous
Cons
- Some communication/materials are in Chinese only
- Front wheel had slight 0.5mm deviation in trueness
- Rear wheel had small gap between pin and end cap
- Extremely difficult to seat tubeless tire on rear wheel (required multiple attempts with compressor)
- More expensive than other Chinese alternatives ($1,855 USD)
- Still less comfortable than steel-spoked wheels (disadvantage of carbon spokes)
- Logos and red accents may not appeal aesthetically to some
- Spare spokes not included (must be requested)
