I've ridden with these Elitewheels Marvel II carbon wheels for about 300-400km, and they're very, very good. I also compare the Elitewheels Marvel II's with the $350 Elitewheels ENT 2.0 carbon wheels, and whether it's worth spending an extra $350 and upgrading to the Marvels.

Created: December 01, 2024The reviewer discusses the Elite Wheels ENT 2.0 as their personal set of more budget-friendly carbon wheels, which they purchased with their own money over a year ago. They compare it extensively to the newer, more premium Marvel 2 wheels. They state the ENT 2.0's have been 'incredible in almost every way' but are heavier (1,630g for the 50mm version) and use Pillar 1423 steel spokes with a four-paw hub system, contrasting with the Marvel 2's lighter weight and premium components. They note the ENT 2.0's have a matte finish, which they prefer, and that they are sold exclusively on AliExpress.
