Title: KORE WHEELSET TOP - GUN
Post by: abndrea on August 27, 2025, 06:52:56 AM
Hi, does anyone knows something about Kore (components?) wheelset named TOP-GUN ? They look super cheap and medium/light to me but I can't find many informations. I find ads on Ali and ebay, specs are standards, maybe except for the Weight Limit (100kg).They also claim a 60T titanium ratchet.

If this wheelset fails when you feel the need for speed, then I guess you're right in the Danger Zone.

So the 50mm is lighter than the 40mm and the latter is the same weight as the 60mm ??

Surely, that in itself should raise some questions ?

They have a good offer right now on ALI,  will be nice to have some feedback from someone who have tested them,  but the 24mm inner 50mm deep and 1159gr at 436€ looks exciting  to me !!

Bumping this one, has anyone pulled the trigger on their wheels on Aliexpress. The reviews are all positive + getting spare spokes and TPU tires seems nice.
I'm actually considering them If I pull the trigger on a 2nd hand Simplon Pride II with heavier DT Swiss wheels, making it usable for the mountains.

These are their carbon spoke wheels, 24mm inner width vs. the 21mm inner width of the steel spoke version that was linked above.
Agree, very interesting at this price point!

I got a set. Look like quality wheels, weights match up, everything nicely lubes and greased (which is not a given from the Asian wheel makers). The seller on Ali is also very quick to respond and it seems like they have them in stock ready to ship because I got my set in two weeks.

So the 50mm is lighter than the 40mm and the latter is the same weight as the 60mm ??

Surely, that in itself should raise some questions ?

I was wondering about that too so I looked into it a bit more, it seems the 60mm is narrower internally and externally than the 50mm which would make sense why their weight is similar. Apparently the rim of the 45mm wheel is the same as the gravel wheelset so potentially a heavier buildup? At some point the 50mm looked to have been revised and internal width increased from 21 to 24 which matches the specs of the cyclone so perhaps they are using the same rims here too.

Ordered the 50mm so will see how that goes  ;D
