RIMS
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
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
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.
Marvel wheels can also be upgraded to DT Swiss hubs upon request.
Marvel 50V Ceramic bearings
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
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.
Rim type
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.

Just purchased a set of the 60v and these wheels are beyond a bargain. So good I ordered a set of 50v today.
Zipp 303 and 202 are hanging up with bad freewheel hubs only 2 years old. I’m saving my money sticking with elites.

Hello Malachy. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Marvel wheels. We are glad that you are enjoying them and the extra money in your pocket.

I love my Elite Wheels! I got the 88mm rim brake version with white decals, and they’re fast wheels for my triathlon bike (Felt IA16). For the price, I don’t think you can get any better. Although people might be hesitant because they’re carbon wheels from China, rest assured that many have used, tested and reviewed them including myself. I’ve been able to stop/slow down on descents upwards of 70+ km/h on these wheels and the brake pads are still going. You can definitely feel the wind buffeting, however the aero advantage over a long distance is definitely worth it!

Hi Henry. Thank you for sharing your experience with your wheelset. It is great to see that you are liking them. Your tri bike looks great. The wheels match the frame perfectly.
It is also nice to hear that the brake performance has been good. Our brake surface uses a 250 degree celsius resin, preventing delamination even on steep long descents with lots of heavy braking.

I really liked the wheels. I use the elite marvel wheels rim brake version. They are light weight and sufficiently stiff laterally for my daily and Sunday rides. I like the brake track surface the groves helps in the wet with the braking. The brake pads have a powdery black layer deposited on them that has reduced a bit of the braking performance.
