I saw them at a bike show and the carbon felt paper thin. They looked amazing. The price is only about 1500e for the standard typr. Don't know the price for these new ones, that are about 250g lighter.

I've seen these Xentis wheels at different occasions and they look like descent wheels to me!

It is on their new website for about 4 months. On the other hand I doubt if many people are willing to pay a doubled prices for a bit lighter TT wheel... :noidea:

I have front wheel and I can tell you all:

"its not about the weight"

the wheel is dammmmmmmmmmmm

it also has a magnet in the carbon!!

just note the direction you install it so you won't do a "Ulrich" :-)

Erez_Pinarello, is the magnet situated in the rim or in one of the spokes?


edit: in one of the spokes I suppose... since I saw this picture in another topic. Is the magnet the dot on the spoke opposite of the Xentis decal?

I know someone who uses them for every day rides and likes them. Easy to clear your bike/wheels with so few spokes after a dirty ride! :lol:
