Hi there
I thought it might be interesting for you. The company named Xentis is bankrupt. You know the wheels made full of carbone wiht four propeller spokes. These wheels where quite numerous on Hawaii, ridden by numerous pros.
What really suks is, that I just bought a pair of these wheels. They are right by side me. On reason to buy a pair was that normaly DT Swiss hubs are build into. But my rear wheel has something else in it.
I really hope that an investor will mercy with Xentis and overtake this Austria company. The products are really nice and of good quality, except my rear hub, I don’t know what the f. that is.
Right now it seams there will be never again support for Xentis products.
The most disappointing thing about this is now I will have to work even harder now that all those Xentis buyers will probably select a more aero wheel 
.
Is that true? They have a very good product, well pricey but good.
here is the winner of the age group 40-49 at Challenge Wanaka 14days ago. He has the Xentis clincher on the front :
I have used a set of Xentis wheels and they go well. I think there aerobars were a wrong turn but hey. Whoever picks up that design will make a mint. Better marketing is all they need. I contacted them and never heard a thing or if I did it was pretty weak. Every other company at least replies. You have to reply, even if it is a nice automated response(eg powerbar). Always reply in business… thanks for your interest…at the moment we are in the middle of the busy season… stay in touch…etc…etc…
The reason is you don’t know who you are dealing with, but you can be sure, they like your product. Just getting the wheels on a few ironman winners isn’t quite enough…
I reckon don’t cut interested parties out of business. The weathiest people I have come across have it for generations and are quite modest/virtually untraceable.
Depending on what bankruptcy they filed, there’s a chance they’ll stick around.
I’ve always admired their stuff. However, a GOOD US distributor and slightly lower prices would do them well… There is good independent aero data on their wheels, so it’s not like they make junk. The bars are very overpriced for what you get. You’re only buying the look, as there’s not much function or aerodynamics in them.
Well stated and agree 100% sexy looking stuff but Ferrari like pricing
Would love to give their aero bars a run but could not afford them.
I raced their bars last year and despite looking like a Klingon warbird on my P$ (which looks cool)… they are stupid light and very comfy. I was surprised that someone from US didn’t pick up a distributorship. I hope they find some $$$ somewhere and keep with the engineering. My 2c.
Are not they the ones who forever will be rememberd for Jan U having on backwards at the tour?
After you said that I went and checked my own. The front one was on back to front. I was just making sure the quick release skewers were on the same side, doh. Have switched the wheel around and also the skewers. They are one of teh few wheel sets where you have to put them on the right way. Should start going faster again now?
Well, that was a silly mistake indeed by Jan Ulrich’s mechanic. Because the back one has to go on correctly, so then the front one will look off if put on backwards.
