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.
Marvel 60V Spoke
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.
Marvel 60V HUB
PERFORMANCE HUB
To get the most out of this carbon wheelset, we specifically designed the hub with high flanges to further increase lateral stiffness and improve handling. Elitewheels manufactures its own high precision hubs with Fanuc CNC machines, which can machine to tolerances of just 0.02mm. This not only allows for lower rolling resistance but also increases bearing longevity.
Marvel 60V Ceramic bearings
CERAMIC BEARINGS
The Marvel 60V’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.

Marvel 60V BRAKE SURFACE
BRAKE SURFACE
The Marvel 60V 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.
Marvel 60V TUBELESS IN MIND
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.

Very happy with this purchase. Not only that the wheels arrived swiftly in my country (EU), but the communication and customer support was at highest thru all the process. I already put 5000km on them and I can definitely say that these are the fastest overall deep wheels I rode so far. Latest deep wheels were the Hyper Lun 50 mm and I can tell right of the bat, that there is a noticeable difference in the favor of Elite Marvel. This became obvious already from the first ride on some descents, where my max speeds were higher with around 10%. I would estimate a 3-5 percent (which is huge) increase in average speeds and a more comfortable and predictable ride feel. Don’t expect to break any records on the long climbs if you already had lighter or shallower wheels, also be aware that riding constantly in 90 degrees side winds will however slow you a bit (common to all deep rims). My set-up is tubeless, I liked the rim tape and the set-up quality, also the valves are premium level. I would definitely recommend 28-30mm wide tires, the 25 seems too stretched and too low on sidewalls.
Nice build and finish quality, smooth rolling and fast wheels, definitely to recommend as a budget race wheels for grand fondo or endurance rides!

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to write such an in-depth review. We appreciate the feedback. It is great to hear that you are satisfied with our customer support and the wheels. Marvel 60V wheels are definitely best suited for the descents and more flat riding like you said. They look great on your Argon 18.
