Looks sublime and insanely light but $3,000 ?! Sorry?
There’s gotta be a cheaper alternative I know LIGHTBICYCLE can do 55mm for about the same weight now with their Ti Carbon spokes for half the price so…
Zen Carbon perhaps ? CarbonBikeKit? Any other competitors ?

Naaaah we can find many 50mm deep wheels sub or at 1000g
Not a rarity anymore
But 60mm deep wheels at around 1050g that’s more rare

The price you pay for those few extra grams though.. if I look at what we can now for 58mm (around 1100ish gram) and 65mm (1160ish gram) for another price level.

Totally agree! XMCS wheels are around the $1000~ $1200 right?

Particle GCX52 Hyperlight (52mm deep, 25int/32ext) - 1022g
XMCS T1100 w/ new Lightweight Hub (50mm deep, 26int/34ext) - 1052g
Both are UCI approved. And both are freakin amazing out on the real roads.

Yo Pat, Of course and then 9VELO has their 52mm deep wheelset at 999g ( :D ) but I was asking specifically for 60mm! And adding about 10mm of depth actually adds quite some weight.
9VELO 62mm weighs 1160 so that’s like 160g more for 10mm deeper!
Hence my demand of under 1100g 60mm wheels like the OVERFAST
My 1st gen 8LIEN 60/60 feels HEAVY now at 1270g ;D

Full carbon spokes, ceramic bearings, and a claimed weight of 1199g.
Kore wheelset has steel bearings.

I just stumbled upon these and they are on a massive discount right now. Looking at the specs, this KORE wheelset, seem to fit exactly what you're looking for: https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005010279504846.html (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4VOWCSZ)
Full carbon spokes and a claimed weight of 1199g.
Sorry but did you read my initial post ? They absolutely do not.
They’re 50mm and I’m looking for 60mm.
They’re 1200g which is now HEAVY for 50mm wheels.
I have a pair of 65mm that weigh 1145g so…
Read all the previous posts please, aren’t that many.
These KORE have nothing special except being very affordable.

I think only Zen Vaporlite Ultra 2 is the only ones I could find that’s close to that spec. They’re 1090g for 60mm.. but I don’t know them. Are their wheels good quality?
