The Vision Metron RS 60 (Racing Series) represents their very first all carbon wheelset. Built with a full carbon rim and spokes, a larger internal diameter, and the new V-1000 hub with PRS technology, these wheels are designed to win.
Extensive CFD analysis and wind-tunnel testing with the most advanced Vision carbon technology coupled with state-of-the-art manufacturing processes bring this handmade wheel to the next level.
The V-1000 hub features a helical Clutch ratchet with 72T, equaling a 5 degree engagement angle. This ends up as 24% faster engagement than the previous Vision 6-pawl and DT 54T/6.6 degree. The PRS increases durability all while reducing loss of power engagement under load.

I loved my $4k Princetons, except for the fact that having bought them only a couple of years ago, the 19mm internal width became dated pretty quickly. That capped me at 26mm tires. The only thing I really miss about the Princetons is they could be run tubeless tape-free since they weren't drilled.
What I love about the Vision RS 60s:
*Weight, weight, weight'or the lack of it! 1390g per set, for real.
*23mm internal width ' my Conti STR 30s measure out to 31.5mm. Since the wheels external measure 33mm wide, no issue. I might even try a 28mm on the front next time.
*Group rides at 22'24mph ' these just roll. Honestly, I keep finding myself creeping too close to the wheel in front without even trying. hate that shot of adrenaline when it's a near miss LOL. I seriously have to be cautious because they move faster than you realize.
*Climbing ' these don't feel like 60s when going uphill.
*Engagement' very fast.
*NOT Hookless' had no interest in it, and these satisfy that. I really believe true hookless will disappear in road cycling.
*Proven pedigree ' these wheels have been raced and proven at the highest level of pro cycling.
Do I wish they had some visible colored graphics? Yes. Do I think about that once I'm moving? Not at all.
Some reviews mention the hubs being loud. But are they any louder than DT Swiss? Not really. What I do notice is the sound of the aero spokes'but honestly, if I wanted quiet, I'd sit on the trainer, put in earbuds, and turn on ANC.
Bottom line: these are an incredible value. Maybe the best value in high-end wheels?
Why not 5 stars? Because maybe there are better wheels out there I haven't ridden yet, like the Scope Artech?
Oh, and I still wish they had some color???????
