WheelsElitewheels Drive 65D II
Created: February 03, 2026The reviewer presents the Elitewheels Drive 65D II as a new generation of their Drive wheel set, featuring a 65mm deep, dark glossy rim with a mini-hook design, carbon fiber spokes, ceramic bearings, and a high-flange hub for improved stiffness and power transfer. After testing, the reviewer praises their performance, stiffness, and road feel, while noting the loud freehub sound and slightly higher weight as minor drawbacks.
AI-Summary
Pros
- High gloss, dark gray finish with subtle marbling
- Comes with rim tape and tubeless valves pre-installed
- Mini-hook rim design compatible with hook-type tires
- Wide tire compatibility (28-45C, optimized for 28-30C)
- Carbon fiber spokes (4.5mm width for optimal aerodynamics)
- High-flange hub design on drive/rotor sides for increased stiffness and direct power transfer
- Ceramic bearings (smooth, quiet operation)
- Good spoke tension consistency and wheel trueness
Cons
- Loud freehub sound (50-tooth clutch, described as 'deep growly' and potentially annoying to other riders)
- Slightly heavier than ideal (1,460g for the pair; reviewer suggests reducing by ~50g)
- Glossy finish may not match matte frames
- Decals interfere with lateral trueness measurements (though actual deviation is minimal)
