MyBike.parts![Elitewheels ENT: Is This Aliexpress Bestseller Worth It? [REVIEW]](https://mybike.parts/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDE5LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--6ab92499b1211138ab7e14a039e1bf614e0d4e5a/hqdefault.jpg)
Watch my review of the Elitewheels ENT 50mm budget carbon wheels to determine whether these Aliexpress wheels are worth it. I have thoroughly tested them both indoors and outdoors to assess their pros and cons.
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 wheels, such as YOELEO SAT PRO 2022, Trifox WT11, Farsports Ventoux S, Elitewheels DRIVE, Superteam All-Carbon Ultra 2023, and more.

WheelsELITEWHEELS Carbon Wheels Disc Brake 700c Road Bike Wheelset ENT UCI Quality Carbon Rim Center Lock Or 6-blot Bock Road Cycling
Created: February 09, 2022The reviewer discusses the Elitewheels ENT carbon wheelset, which they purchased for $287 from AliExpress. They tested the wheels over 1,000 kilometers, including challenging terrains like Belgian cobblestone climbs. The wheels are tubeless-ready but are noted as the heaviest 50mm wheels they have tested, with the front wheel weighing 828g and the rear 950g (total 1,778g without tubeless rim tape and valves). The internal rim width is 20mm, and the external width is 28.1mm, which is standard for modern wheels. The wheels feature Pillar 1423 steel spokes and Elitewheels six-pole hubs with steel bearings. The reviewer found the wheels to be well-built with consistent spoke tension and decent hub centering, though they noted some epoxy residue and wrinkles inside the rims. Performance-wise, the wheels felt sluggish on climbs and rolling terrain due to their weight but were comfortable on cobbles and stable in crosswinds. The reviewer also mentions trying the ENT 80mm version, which was faster on flats but less stable in crosswinds.
