WORTH IT? An HONEST Lún Hyper 50 Wheelset Review

I bought the 50mm Black Edition wheels February of 2022. The only problem I had with them was that bearings in the front needed more lubrication. I contacted Lun, and very quickly I received new bearing set. I wasn't expecting that. They have been hassle free ever since. I have ridden them over 10000 miles in the last year and they still look brand new and are as true as the day I took them out of the box. A few months ago I rode a 500 mile non stop ride and just earlier this week I did a 300 mile nonstop ride. I regularly get compliments from strangers and my cycling buddies of how good the wheels look. They are on my 2021 Trek Emonda SL5. For $1200, I think I got a great deal. I am glad I didn't go with the big brand names with the big brand prices. These wheels have been amazing! When I need another set of wheels, Lun will have my business again!

Again, another great video Tristan! Keep up the good work. Kudos man!

Congrats on the win (nice trophy!!)… very thorough review, especially the conversation on the tires… 🍻

Good review and congrats on your cycling results. I’ve just got the d67’s and also have enves and zipps and these have been on pair in my tests. Very pleased. All the best with your race season 👍

Hi Tristan , being 63 yr young this past summer i tryed a pair of the same wheels you have, rim brake only contenental 5000 25mm tires, having done 61km to my bike shop to do a switch of rims ( I have a pair of bontrager aeolus pro 5 ) on the back way home i got the KOM over a 26.29km segment avg of 39.6 km/hr , time of 39min 45 sec, with very little wind , my bike is a 2019 frame specialized tarmac not very aero, my first tarmac was from 2013, Anyway Pros of the wheel set was in cornering and getting up to speed the reaction of the wheels and maintaining the speed was really great much better than my regular wheels , the only downside was the road buzz coming through ,the handle bars , roads here are not that nice, what would probably be a solution is a tubeless set up ,happy to see you had great results with the wheel set , i did not have the possibility to do climbing with them as the weather was not good and i returned the wheel set after a week, i love climbing it is one of my mainstays when riding , wish you all the best this season , still winter here in quebec ca

I purchased the Lun D67 2023 last month. Since then, my Strava is lit 🔥🔥🔥 🚒

Wow Tristian, what a review! I have been riding Hypers on three bikes since 2020. They are very popular in our cycling group. As you stated very affordable. Haven’t had any issues at all. Great validating review to forward to non-believers or those looking to upgrade.

Thanks Tristan good balanced review. Personally although Ido not "as yet" have anything from Winspace but..I really like the company & Joe's input. I love that they have not abandoned rim brakes in either their frames or wheels. I think they are really putting out nice products at nice prices & have only read good things. Thanks again for a great video!

Congratulations on your race results. And I really enjoyed the practical real use evaluation of the wheels👍🏾

About the ceramic bearings, yes if you have 100% ceramic bearings they will last a long time If you have hybrid ceramic (which you already have) they won't last more ! Why? Because the balls inside the bearing are ceramic and the race of the bearing is steel, so the harder material which is ceramic while eat the softer, and you will be in for bearing replacement pretty soon !

Solid video. I have been on HYPER Wheels and the LUN wheels for as long as anyone in the USA. Multiple years now. With the wheels, there has never been a problem and I have been riding them up to 5 days a week, year long. Raced them in our regional races in the USA. As well as in the Philippines, under some of the most challenging conditions and natural elements imaginable. For me, the Hyper Wheels and LUN Wheels have been 100% great. Not one negative issue for me, and I ride the wheels quite hard I must admit.

Another great video, really enjoy you content. Just over a year in Hyper 38 wheels. Absolutely love them, saved 400g switching from another Chinese brand (55mm). Acceleration out of corners and climbing are highs alongside the weight. I have just replaced 1 front wheel bearing after about 12k on rough Perth WA roads. Looking to get a gravel set to upgrade my Grizl.

I do have 35mm 2023 version, fantastic wheelset, great purchase

These are great for people looking for good wheels at a fair price. I still love my DT Swiss and ENVY wheels; however, this video was very well prepared

I have the original Hyper 50's (1,350 gram rim brake model that cost around $900 at the time) from 2020 as well with around 4,000 miles on mine (I also use the Lun 30's for more day-to-day use), and love the 50's. They feel faster than my 30's on both the uphills and downhills, and obviously at higher speeds on the flats. I haven't had any issues with the bearings yet, but will be swapping them out with non-ceramic ones soon. They are a handful in super windy/gusty conditions (almost got blown off the road before in a strong crosswind), but what deep wheels aren't....and they actually handle the wind FAR better than my old Enve 3.4's, which were a pile of $3,000 crap. I'd buy these wheels all day over the "boutique" brands. Only semi-downside is they're suuuuuper stiff laterally, which makes sharp turn-ins feel a bit weird over wheels that have a little flex to them....that took a little getting used to, but not a problem really. Obviously it's a plus though when out of the saddle hammering on the pedals. Never got a water bottle with any of my wheels though (I own 3 sets of Winspace wheels - two road and one gravel). My Hypers work perfectly with my 25mm Schwalbe Pro One TLE's, which is what the Hypers were designed for.

Nice review Tristan. Very informative. My query relates to crosswinds: how did the 50mm Lun’s Hyper handle those winds as opposed to a straight line direction. I’m from Perth, Australia, and crosswinds is all we have here. Apparently 😂

Loved the review and a big up for your great race results. Did you already ride the DT Swiss ARC 50s enough to give a performance comparison? (regardless the difference in price) And if not, can you give a comparison based on your first impression of the DT Swiss 50s?

Are you getting the mega's?

Great video, as always! Tell me pls,what of saddle bag you have in video?)

Does The bmc teammachine SLR FRS Carbon has Integrated all The kabels?
