RIMS
At Elitewheels, we design our Marvel wheels to match the needs of recreational cyclists. As opposed to alloy rims found on most road bikes, Marvel wheels are stronger, stiffer, much more more aerodynamic and significantly lighter. In fact, wheels play the biggest role in aerodynamics on a bicycle. As opposed to reducing weight elsewhere, a lighter rim saves rotational weight, making for a more agile feel and faster accelerations.
SPOKES
Choosing the right spoke to build a wheel is essential. We specifically selected Pillar PA 1423 aero bladed spokes. They are cold forged making them strong, allowing them to be able to withstand over 300kgf of tension.
Optional Upgrade: (Sapim CX-Ray spokes) and (Pillar Wing 20) spokes can be substituted for an extra cost, saving more than 90 grams off the complete wheelset.
HUB
Marvel wheels feature high flange hubs which offer greater lateral stiffness, improving stability. Both the front and rear wheel hubs feature ceramic bearings with an extremely low coefficient of friction, saving you precious watts. The front hub uses 6803 ceramic bearings and the rear hub uses three 6803 bearings and one 6903 bearing. The larger the bearing, the better the rigidity.
CERAMIC BEARINGS
The Marvel 50V’s front hub uses two 6803 mixed ceramic bearings. The rear hub uses one 6903 and three 6803 mixed ceramic bearings. These large bearings offer better durability over standard size ones. The use of large mixed ceramic bearings will allow you to have a more efficient bike, saving you precious watts.
BRAKE SURFACE
The Marvel 50V uses a blend of 270 ℃, high-temperature resin, developed by Elitewheels, and Japanese Toray T800 carbon fiber for the brake surface. This heat resistance ensures excellent braking performance even on long, steep descents. The brake track also features laser-etched grooves to clear water away, giving safe, consistent braking in wet conditions.
TUBELESS IN MIND
All of our wheels are tubeless ready with tubeless rim tape pre-installed. Each rim features our unique tubeless R-angle design, allowing for easier mounting. To make mounting tubeless tires even easier, rims are designed with bead seat retention ridges making inflation possible with just a floor pump.

I bought these wheels back in 2021 on Elitewheels’ Ali Express shop but I got the older 25mm width. I can say these wheels are great. Those 3 years have seen about 10-15,000km on rough country roads in Ireland. They’re quick and fantastic value. They’re comfortable too, they absorb a good bit of road noise and bumps. The next wheelset I get will be these just wider, maybe 28mm width. I can’t recommend these wheels enough. They are amazing

Hello Morgan. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Marvel 50V wheelset. It is great to know that you have gotten good use out of them over the past three years. We are happy to know that you are satisfired with their value and compliance on the rough country roads. The pics look great by the way. Happy riding!

The wheels are look great and sound of the hub is nice too. I can confirme that they are nice upgrade to my alloy wheels they are definitely faster. Packing was without any damatoo. Only issue that if shipping would be faster would be better and i found them a bit heavy but i guess it is normal for 50mm depth wheels.
(If you have issue on installing tyre properly try to apply soapy water at the side of the tyres)
