This is about as good a value in wheels as one can get today. Hubs are DT Swiss 350's, I have had great history with these in other Reserve wheels I own and this set has not disappointed so far. Tension on spokes was very uniform out of the box as I would expect from Reserve.
While they are not the lightest thing out there, where else can you get this kind of durability at under $700? Great winter wheel set for my gravel bike that does allroad duty in the winter for me. Put on 32mm road tires and one can cruise over everything. I would not buy these for racing, but great training or winter wheelset at a phenomenal price.
Note that the DT Swiss 350 hubs are quiet. I like that but some that like louder hub ratchets. If you want it louder, get a set of 54 tooth ratchets to make the freewheeling sound louder.
So much better than the stock wheels on my 2022 Trek FX3. I had a problem with those old wheels' quick-release (this model isn't QR; I'm reviewing here since I can't find the old posting) clamp coming loose and wobbling, and spokes breaking, particularly after I put a 750w motor on the bike. So far, no issues with these wheels after about 3 months. They spin well too. The only con is that I need more specialized tools for replacing their bearings, compared to the old wheels.
Don't have a lot of experience with gravel wheelsets other than OEM ones. These wheels are much nicer than the WTB i23 with Salsa hubs that I had on one of my other gravel bike. They roll smooth and handle well. I like the 36t ratchet. They have stayed true. I know I will be able to get parts and in the future for these from DT Swiss if needed. There are also 15mm end caps available for the front hub if I need them for a different bike. Quality seems on par with my Campagnolo road bike wheels. Thinking of getting a second set for a different bike.
Current setup: Orbea Orca OMX/SRAM AXS Red

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???????
