All Hype or All Good? Winspace Hyper 2023 Carbon Wheelset // In Depth Review

I made a mistake in the video, Side runout is 0,1 mm not 0,9mm as I said in the video! Thanks to everyone who commented 👍🏽

Just seen your video, i think your dti readings are a factor of 10 out at one point. Also note the park tool tm1 reading for kgf is not comparable here as the spoke material is not calibrated to the tm1. So although it will draw you the graph it won't actually know the kgf in each spoke.

I never thought much of Hyper wheels, I was on the verge of getting Hunt's Aerodynamicist 54 wheels with carbon spokes. The thought of carbon spokes scared me, so I opted for ENVE Foundation 65 instead, and got them for around $1,000. I'm gonna call that a win.

I upgraded a damaged rear wheel (door hit the carbon wheel and cracked it) from the old Hyper 50mm three years ago to the new Hyper SE23 D67. Damn it, these wheels are faster and more responsive they the older model. (I have replaced boththe old and new set with bearings with NTN LLB and used fluro grease) I also balanced the wheel and have never seen a wheel so balanced. I only needed to add one small strip of lead weight. As I was using tubeless, the wheel seemed even easier to put on a GP5000STR. Well done Winspace!

I've been riding these wheels for over 5yrs and have 1,000 miles on current set and they are awesome wheels. I'm on a tight budget, but when I can still win my races in my age category with guys riding bikes and wheels 4X's more expensive, it says a lot.

I read an engineering analysis about ceramic bearings. The conclusion was that they are predominantly intended for industrial machines that run at very high rpm. In other words to achieve the drag benefits from ceramic bearings you need to hit rpms much higher than you can achieve from a road bike wheel. They will still be very smooth but you can get smooth non ceramic bearings for a much cheaper price.

The amount of work you put to create this content is really appreciated! Cheers!

I have a set of Winspace Hyper 50 (not the 2023 version) on my Trek Domane. Those wheels plus switching to a set pair of Conti GP5000 setup tubeless were such a solid upgrade, saved a heap of weight and they are great to ride on compared to the stock aluminium wheels/tires/tubes it came with.

I put these on my bike (65mm rim brake version), initially coming from Vision SC 40's I was dissapointed because I didn't feel much difference... until I cranked it up to higher power numbers... very happy with their performance at higher speeds and the responsiveness when coming out the saddle out of corners. definitely a step up from the Vision's

got the hyper 2020 wheelset; awesome wheels still true, light and fast and they only cost me $1000.00 including shipping. to save 5 seconds i don't need 3k wheels. A winner all around.

They way your are using the dial indicators is not correct. You are not getting any measurement at all. At 5:51 your dial indicator tip is zeroed on the high spots, scratching them. But not measuring anything below those high spots, because those spots are not touched by the indicator. You have to set up your indicator so that it is fully engaged (full contact) with the wheel for a full revolution. Then you can zero it on a random spot and check the deviation on a full revolution by turning the wheel by hand slowly. You should do this whole thing as a new video. (I am a machinist, no hate my friend) :) Edit: The setup at 6:14 is a little bit better because the indicator has contact to the rim on like 80% of the diameter. But every time the needle comes to a sudden stop, it is not engaged, therefore not measuring anything. The indicator has to be fully engaged at all times.

I have a pair. Im 220 lbs. They are wonderfull, i own cosmics, rovals, irwin, and hypers. Im going to say they feel like the rovals. Get them now before the demand goes up and you pay more.

the sound of the rim on the metal when you checked for roundness was truly painful, next time please use the pointy tips of the arms that are also used to see the side to side trueness. you should be able to get them close enough to put them where you can see the roundness of the wheel :) these dials are meant to be pushed against the wheel so see if the wheel is out of true to both sides, you should be able to turn the indication (the thing where the numbers are printed on) to get ne needle to point at 0, so its easyier to see to which side you have a deflection. nicer truing stands have little wheels on the end of these dials so they arent scraping, but rather rolling on the side of the rim :) hope that helps, thanks for the video!

So we tested these carbon spokes and they were able to hold 300kg of tension. Which is double of what steel spokes are capable of. Nice! But there's also a question of longevity. Epoxy, that holds carbon together, hates vibrations, uv light, and any form of torsion. Which is exactly what spokes are experiencing all the time.

The AI doesn't appear to have contemplated two things - 1. what happens if a spoke fails; catastrophic with carbon, not so with traditional alloy spokes, and 2. areas of strength; laterally the carbon will be much weaker than alloy, increasing the risk of failure. They are hella light and kinda pretty though!

Got about 4600km on the previous hypers- not a hint of deviation from true. New ones have delt with a few of the issues of the gen1 such as spoke rotation but they are great. BUT they are sooo stiff- you do feel more bumps than the steel spoke wheels.

Cracking content as always nice of bigger brands to start and send you stuff to test 👌who about running these with the tpu tubes the green cyclima or the ride now tubes instead of tubeless 🤔

I'm thinking of putting these wheels on my 21 speed giant shopping bike , do you think it would be overkill ?.

Side runout is 0,1 mm not 0,9mm 😉 seems pretty good to me

They didnt sent you a handpicked wheelset right? Right? A random purchase would be more closer to the truth. Great video anyway!
