Alright so first thing first, these wheels are the real deal. The amount of quality and performance you get for the price of under 1200 is insane, in relevance to the entire market, The ride so comfortably but without feeling sluggish, because of the lightweight they spin up to speed very quickly and the carbon spokes and deep carbon rims they are very fast and very stiff..... check them out in the description and I have a code for $50 dollars off the whole website which is "GC50" at checkout Let me know if you have any questions on these wheels
The Magene chest strap heart rate monitor is significantly better than Wahoo's. I've gone through so many of Wahoo's heart rate monitors because of a lack of water resistance, I'm still on my first Magene HR monitor in over 2 years.
I've had mine for two weeks, put about 500 miles on them. Love them. Light, stable, the price is right, and as a fan of DT Swiss hubs the hub, all I can say is that the Magene version is is amazing.
What do you mean some people call you a shill? You’re one of the most honest and transparent CZcams channel hosts out there. When something costs more money and you don’t think it’s worth it you say so, when something costs more money and you think it’s worth it, you say so. If anyone has any doubts all they have to do is watch your last video about the Prestacycle cassette. You told us exactly who might want to invest in it and who shouldn’t as well as who might want to and why. If you told everyone to go ahead and buy it, you’d be a shill, but you didn’t, so you’re not. Plus, you’re always honest about when you receive a commission/incentive when reviewing or promoting something.
:) man comments like these have no idea how good it makes me feel.... these are just comments I have heard but I always try to be super honest, and tell people when I think something is a good buy. but honestly this gives me a great attitude heading into the weekend :)
Ive recently converted to an all-out Magene setup (Inner / Power Crank / HRm / Head Unit) on my Falath Evo build excluding the wheels which I had bought a pair about a week or two ago from a brand called Tukus (50mm staggard rim design w/Dt inspired 54t hub and t800 carbon spokes) similarly spec'd to this wheels in the review. Like you said, wheels at the $1k+ mark are legit. I think the reason for the massive price difference is that those brands include image aka snob tax, RnD tax, marketing tax, pro team use tax, crash replacement tax. I'd assume that at most 30% of actual cost is down to manufacturing unless all those brands are using T1000.
From a first impression and design standpoint, they don't look premium. I like the gold accents but I think the decals and colour accents could be done better to reflect its performance and aspirations to compete with premiums brands. Great review as always and love your content, keep up the great work.
You need to get your hands on the upcoming Campy WTO Ultra C23's!! In regards to wheel internal widths being too wide and 32mm tires being tractor tires: You need to get out of FL and ride some roads around the rest of the world. Road surfaces are unique to every area. Where I am, I would never go back to any tire less than 30mm. On my daily ADHX I run 303FC with 32mm GP 5000STR's - and am thankful on every single ride that the industry has moved up in widths. I used to ride in FL in the early 2000's, and yes, you can get away with much narrower tires and corn-cobb rear cassettes. 😀
Brother, that is a clean ass bike, I love that set up, My personal Ti frame is almost identical yours except my seat stay drop is about another inch lower, I have a tapered head tube and mine is rim brake. Regardless, yours is absolutely gorgeous. I love that you as well have been reviewing the newer age wheels that are coming out of China now compared to the past.
@@GCPerformance18 I would be obsessed with that myself, would you mind sharing who made it? I had mine completely custom from Waltly Titanium in China, absolutely hands down favorite ride of my life so far.
look on your hub, what's the middle digit of the 3 digit batch code? When DT Swiss first came out with EXP in 2021 they had some issues. If the middle digit is 1 then it's the improved version.
I’ve been running 23mm internal width since 2020, and LOVE how my 26mm Pzero’s stretch out to 28mm, I feel better lateral grip, and can run lower air pressure- so it helps absorb some of that rough patch asphalt. Might have to give these a try since they weigh less than my setup.
I was interested in these when they first popped up due to the 30mm width and I think they look nice but they look a little too close to lower level wheels to me (visually - the gold is alright but it can clash with a lot of paint schemes). When it comes to comparing these to other offerings, I'm not a huge fan of elitewheels' graphics/logos but the marbly carbon and gloss make up for it and make the wheels look a lot more premium and come in a bit cheaper than Magene plus there are more robust discount options with them. I just wish they would make wider rims as an update without altering their price structure.
Great channel and great review. Not a roadie, but these do look nice. For reference... Conti GP 5000... 28c - 280g 32c - 330g 100g (pair) is not a pound. Lol
I am running the DB405, absolutely love them. Also have magene 606 computer and 705 power meters. You can't go wrong with magene with their price tag at the quality they offer. Next products might be their trainer
I wish they had a 58/58 option for the top end. I considered Magene but I personally don't love the staggered look. Their second tier has a 58 / 58 but starts to get heavy at that point.
I think it was more just the lack of grease from factory I just threw them on my bike but honestly this is a non issue, once lubbed up there will be nothing wrong
One thing I want to ask is how do you feel servicability wise on these wheels? Have you asked Magene about getting spokes, bearings, hubs etc if you need replacements?
bearings for the hubs are standard they can be ordered through any local bike shop because they have similar internals to dt swiss, spokes come with the wheels I think two for each wheel and also they can be ordered more through them
12:04 🤣🤣🤣. Magene products is excellent. The small problem i have in the past was with communication. I mail them about a problem with my front derailleur and their powermeter and they answer me with nonsense videos. But anyway their products is excellent and in most cases superior to competitors.
Hey, really enjoyed your video on these Magene Exam DB505 Ultra wheel set. Just a couple questions. Would I need a different hub body for Sram Rival or will the XDR free hub that comes with the rear wheel work with a Sram Rival 12-speed cassette? Also, they are recommending up to 30c tires on these rims. Do you think 31 - 35c tires be suitable for these rims? Thanks.
yes no problem on these for the tire size and also yes just get the xdr driver at checkout the wheels are amazing i am doing a new video soon on the new wheels they have the ultradark
@@GCPerformance18 Yes, the pawls are less reliable but they are quieter and have much less drag. I have a lot of star ratchet hubs - Extralite, DT240/350, and Syntace, but I don't ride them much. I like White Ind hubs. I ride them and Onyx Vesper on the road. But neither of these companies make straight pull hubs for these sweet carbon spokes.
Hey gc performance stupid question where do I buy the 54 tooth rachet upgrade? I have roval c38s with 54 tooth rachet can I use that rachet or magene specific ratchet Thanks And thanks for The awesome content like always 👏👏
that is tough, I think for strict dollar value, if money was the biggest concern magene has the best product on the market. The wheels are absolute amazing.... but fi you want the the extra lighter weight the craft wheels are 100 grams lighter then the magene and a deeper depth in the rear, the craft wheels were one of the best and one of my favorite wheels I rode....... either wheel you will not be disappointed in because right now I am still running the mageen wheels and I do not find myself taking them off anytime soon
Thinking of upgrading to these bad boys to save some weight. How does these wheelset hold speed above 45km/h ? Switching from Fulcrum Wind DB 55 which is excellent on holding higher speed but very sluggish to accelerate due to heavier weight (1.7kg)
absolute amazing, just did a group ride saturday and it was 26-31mph the whole time, even for those little jolts where someone is serging at the front to accelrate at those speeds as well to keep up the pick up sped quickly and the aero depth of the wheel realy help it hold speed easily
I own a pair of Winspace gravel wheels and I just ordered a pair of 9 Velo wheels, and there's no reason to buy Enve, etc anymore, nd I say that as someone who also owns a pair of 4.5 SES wheels! That said, Campy makes incredibly beautiful wheels, and if they cost a little less, well, bellissima!
@GCPerformance18 More dealers need to wake up and start carrying this stuff. I'm old enough to remember when Japanese products were "junk" until suddenly they weren't. The best selling motor of all time is a Honda 50.
@@TwoTroutCreations no, I use a Hammerhead Karoo 2 bike computer currently. But the Magene does seem to work perfectly with my Garmin Epix 2 watch. Admittedly, I never use the watch (or head unit) to adjust light modes though, instead using the button on the radar. So while I can't directly speak to the lighting compatibility, the radar functionality definitely works perfectly with both.
“If any of the following conditions apply, it is not covered by the warranty: Damage caused by consumers due to improper use, maintenance, and storage; Damage caused by disassembly by non- Magene officially authorized maintenance personnel; The model number on the warranty certificate does not match the model number of the repaired product or is altered;”
Wheels that have a crash warranty cost multitudes more. Not to mention it's not a crash warranty, but more of a crash discount since you still have to buy the replacement wheel at a discount. For a comparable and performing Zipp wheel, you can buy 2-3 of these. Crash and you'll have the wheel available to swap. Edit: looks like Zipp 2021 and newer wheels get full replacement even in a crash.
they are a huge company you can just reach out to them and get them shipped to you, or the bearings are standard size and any bike shop can order bearings, also hub internals are literally dt swiss old style, so easy to order and spokes we can order from them they wil have a US warehouse very soon and already there product is sold on amazon
toughhhh one, I love the d67 as well, I wil say that these wheels are more comfortable then the d67 because they have the wider rim channel and something about them they feel more absorbent.... I say you couldn't go wrong with both because I rode both but for florida I think the deeper dish wil give you more performance
........... just rode 28 miles averaged 191 watts 211 normalized power with them today... what do you want a 3000 ride review of them? I have seen high end wheels brake withini 2 days, shit happens but these wheels are it
Cant trust what this dude reviews, he fancies specialized to the point he sells out everytime.. He also does no real riding, climbing so hard to say he knows what hes talking about. Gets pulled along on flat group rides all day, thats not how you test a bike/components.. Do they feel still, hows the power tranfer, how do they feel when climb, out the saddle? None of that. "tHeSe ArE tHe ReAl DeAl" lol also offers a discount code..come on.
What are you talking about. If I liked specialized so much I would not be showing these wheels I would ride roval. I get pulled along in group rides? I ride fast pace group rides for fun. I ride for fun. Group rides that to the point of where I get dropped because what’s the point of riding a slow group ride. I ride after work some days now 30 miles and averaged 191 watts on flats. I’m not racing I’m not training for anything. I just enjoy riding. A lot of those pull shit claims power transfer, I don’t climb, out the saddle. A lot of the these high end wheels feel very similar if they are the same depth. A discount code is to literally help you. I know I get a kickback but you get a discount for them. Why would I push these wheels if I could just sell roval. Send me your Strava please. I would love to see this elite rider you claim to be. I have been riding bikes since I was 12, I have a pretty good grasp on what feels good and what doesn’t. I have rode some shit bikes. And some shit wheels and shit saddles. But these claims you wanna hear about just go to the company’s website and they have them all there for you in quotation for you to eat up and make your decision
No! They are cheap cause there ist no blown up marketing behind the company that makes it expensive. 90% of ALL rims are made in Asia, even from most of the big players outthere.
@@Yeahwhatdoesthatmean lifetime warranty my ass! Read the terms of that warranty and you will see that covers only things that happen when you ride, but not accidents, and only to the first owner...Spokes and bearings are also not included. That warranty is just marketing bullshit ;-)

Pretty concerning that the ratchet is binding up on this brand new wheel already. Long term that seems like it would lead to hub failure.

What is their crash replacement policy? I looked on their website with no success.
There isn’t one
“If any of the following conditions apply, it is not covered by the warranty:
Damage caused by consumers due to improper use, maintenance, and storage;
Damage caused by disassembly by non- Magene officially authorized maintenance personnel;
The model number on the warranty certificate does not match the model number of the repaired product or is altered;”
Wheels that have a crash warranty cost multitudes more. Not to mention it's not a crash warranty, but more of a crash discount since you still have to buy the replacement wheel at a discount.
For a comparable and performing Zipp wheel, you can buy 2-3 of these. Crash and you'll have the wheel available to swap.
Edit: looks like Zipp 2021 and newer wheels get full replacement even in a crash.

Cant trust what this dude reviews, he fancies specialized to the point he sells out everytime.. He also does no real riding, climbing so hard to say he knows what hes talking about. Gets pulled along on flat group rides all day, thats not how you test a bike/components.. Do they feel still, hows the power tranfer, how do they feel when climb, out the saddle? None of that. "tHeSe ArE tHe ReAl DeAl" lol also offers a discount code..come on.
What are you talking about. If I liked specialized so much I would not be showing these wheels I would ride roval. I get pulled along in group rides? I ride fast pace group rides for fun. I ride for fun. Group rides that to the point of where I get dropped because what’s the point of riding a slow group ride. I ride after work some days now 30 miles and averaged 191 watts on flats. I’m not racing I’m not training for anything. I just enjoy riding. A lot of those pull shit claims power transfer, I don’t climb, out the saddle. A lot of the these high end wheels feel very similar if they are the same depth. A discount code is to literally help you. I know I get a kickback but you get a discount for them. Why would I push these wheels if I could just sell roval. Send me your Strava please. I would love to see this elite rider you claim to be. I have been riding bikes since I was 12, I have a pretty good grasp on what feels good and what doesn’t. I have rode some shit bikes. And some shit wheels and shit saddles. But these claims you wanna hear about just go to the company’s website and they have them all there for you in quotation for you to eat up and make your decision
I look forward to your response.
$1100 = 2 year warranty
That’s why they are cheap
No! They are cheap cause there ist no blown up marketing behind the company that makes it expensive.
90% of ALL rims are made in Asia, even from most of the big players outthere.
@@66mikkim zipp 303s are $1100 with a lifetime warranty and huge marketing budgets. What’s your argument there.
@@Yeahwhatdoesthatmean lifetime warranty my ass!
Read the terms of that warranty and you will see that covers only things that happen when you ride, but not accidents, and only to the first owner...Spokes and bearings are also not included.
That warranty is just marketing bullshit ;-)
