I see this question constantly 🤣
Everyone always claims their wheelset brand is the best, but that’s subjective. Most carbon wheelset OEM manufacturers and brands are essentially selling very similar products—there isn’t much to truly differentiate them, aside from brand strength and marketing.
Some companies don’t manufacture anything themselves and simply build wheels using rims, hubs, and spokes sourced elsewhere (for example, Serenade). On the other hand, you have larger players like XM CarbonSpeed, who manufacture and develop their rims, hubs, and spokes in-house, invest heavily in design and R&D, and also act as OEM manufacturers for other brands. Tagoola falls into this category as well—not a brand I’ve personally bought from, but one with a very strong reputation.
I’ve owned wheels from XM CarbonSpeed, Zen, DFS, and Serenade, and so far they’ve all been excellent.
Ultimately, it comes down to what you want from a set of wheels. Are you driven by price? Concerned about weight? Interested in more exotic hubs? Those factors matter far more than the name on the decal.
