While not cheap by any means, these wheels offer insane value compared to the competition. Sure the new Enve G series is wider and deeper, but they're nearly TWICE the price! The Zipp XPLR wheels are wider and deeper, but a lot heavier and also more expensive. I paid $1440 for these, and I truely don't think there's another wheelset on the market at a similar price that can match the specs of these wheels AND offer a lifetime warranty and full crash replacement AND come with super reliable, bomb proof hubs. My set weighed slightly less than advertised too at 1440g (w/o valves, but with tape).
Only niggle is that the spokes on my rear wheel made a lot of noise during hard, steep efforts on my first couple rides. I put some lube at each of the spoke junctions and this seemed to solve the problem.
I eventually got these when they went on a sale after months of research. Compared to most other established brands out there these are some of the widest, in terms of internal width. With no system limit and steel spokes they are built like wheels for gravel although they are advertised for road use. Great lifetime warranty from Reserve and class leading cross wind stability. You can definitely get much lighter and cheaper wheels (even deeper) from the DTC brands these days but they usually have more restrictive system limits, use carbon spokes, and don't provide similar warranty. I think they are a great alternative to the Roval CLX III, much cheaper while being about the same weight (especially if you compare the DT180 hub variant) and as a bonus using easy to source and replace steel spokes. And they fit great on a Tarmac SL8.
I bought the Vision wheels to replace the hookless alloy bricks that came with my Defy. I have no other point of comparison but I love these wheels. Light enough, true, roll nicely. Paired with GP5000 30's and Silca TPU tubes. The 23mm internal width allows the 30's to measure out at 31mm. Very easy to mount the tires (yeah, I know, GP5000's!) by hand; no tools or levers required. I get a nice efficient ride, great cornering, and the bike fairly jumps underneath me when powering up hills. I come close to the rule of 105 with the 30's on these wheels. Great combo IMO.
I've put ~5000 miles on these using 28mm tires (road riding only). Excellent as all-arounders: strong, lightweight, and despite being the low end of the DT Swiss range the 350s spin up relatively quickly. I use them all year but really appreciate them in winter/windy weather as they don't take as much impact -- given the shallower rim depth -- when the crosswinds are really blowing. Extremely competitive given the other wheelsets in the same price range, especially when you factor in the lifetime warranty from Reserve.
