Not sure if they are any good but man the price is tempting.

They are putting in extra hours on the knock off's these days.

I'm sure the braking is top notch.

I don’t even remember what was the cool thing about the real ZIPPs. Once I saw the price I stopped looking! But if these knock offs are as fast then I might look again...well maybe.

I wouldn't bother especially considering you can pick up an 808 wheelset for the same price. Once you're done with these wheels you won't be able to sell them again. I had some Chinese wheels and they were OK, but over-priced really. Had a couple of minor issues, had to send them back, took 6 weeks to get the replacements... look at the 2nd hand market.

That's a pretty good copy. I have good insurance, but not good enough to ride these!

Are Zipp wheels actually fast anymore? I think of Zipp and Enve as the Michale Kors of wheels. They do do the same stuff as anyone else, just with more style and 4x the price.

I wouldn't ride any bike that had these on them. Just because they superficially look the same doesn't mean that a) they perform the same and b) the same amount of engineering went into the layup.

Gucci is far too pedestrian and mass market. Lightweight is more like Balenciaga.

I’m sure they’re fast but no where near worth the cost. That’s why I was kind of kidding about buying the knock offs if they were as fast. But I’ll stick with my HED and FLO wheels anyday.

At least they're not using Zipp hubs :)

I'd say the DT Swiss are an improvement.
