Hi Andrius,
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the Drive G36 wheels! We’re thrilled everything’s going well—from the 4-week delivery to Lithuania, to the smooth 200 km you’ve put in with no quality complaints.
That’s exactly the reliability we aim for, so your feedback means a lot. Enjoy many more great rides ahead!
FAST AND FURIOUS
Wheel are fist and stiff
Hub is is immaculate anfages really well and spins quiet well. The paint job on those wheels are fantastic and makes the bike look super cool.
Compared to other western brands these are really really good
I have the Elite drive 2 50s they came pre installed with valve and rim tape, just needed to add the sealant and it holds the air really really well, I use conti GP5000 STR
In the cross wind though may require further improvements, its probably due to the carbon spokes which look superb by the way
So all in all 5 star 🌟

Hi Majed,
“Fast and Furious”—what an awesome way to sum up your Elite Drive 2 50s! We’re absolutely stoked to hear you love how fast and stiff the wheels are, plus that immaculate, smooth-spinning hub and the fantastic paint job that makes your bike look super cool.
It’s also great to know the pre-installed valve and rim tape made setup a breeze (paired with your Conti GP5000 STR, no less!) and that they hold air so well. We really appreciate you sharing the note on crosswind handling too—feedback like that helps us keep refining, even as we love hearing you still think those carbon spokes look superb.
A 5-star rating means the world to us—thank you for choosing Elitewheels, and here’s to many more thrilling rides ahead!
My Elite Wheels and Service
I have purchased 2 sets of wheels and extra spokes, just in case. I love the way my Pro33 feel on my MTB bike, when I hit the trails. My rides feel smooth and with confidence. Also, the rims make my bike lighter in weight. Recently, I had a situation with one of my hubs, and Aria, has been of great assistance, and support. I got my rim under warranty. Elite wheels has improved shipping and everything was delivered very fast!! Definitely recommend them and their service!!!!

That’s the cherry on top.
Your recommendation means the world to us. Thank you for choosing Elitewheels, and here’s to many more awesome trail rides ahead!
Amazing Wheelset—Fast Shipping and Unbeatable Riding Performance
I ordered the Elite Drive 65D wheelset and the shipping to Canada was incredibly fast. After riding more than 50,000 km over the past five years, I’ve been through a lot of wheelsets, and after putting over 1,000 km on these, they are hands down the best I’ve ever used. The performance is absolutely great!. The wheels feel smooth, responsive, and accelerate effortlessly while staying stable at speed. Aside from the amazing performance, they also look absolutely incredible on the bike and really stand out. Other riders have said the same, praising how well they hold momentum, how confident they feel in all conditions, and how they stack up better than many big-name wheelsets. Elite Wheels has really delivered here, offering a pro-level experience at a fair price. From performance to aesthetics to customer service, these wheels have exceeded my expectations in every way.

Hi Jason,
Wow—what an incredible review! We’re absolutely blown away to hear your Elite Drive 65D wheelset is the best you’ve ever used, especially coming from someone who’s logged over 50,000 km on various wheelsets over five years. That’s the highest praise we could ask for.
It means the world that after 1,000+ km, the wheels still feel smooth, responsive, and effortless to accelerate—plus stay stable at speed. And we love that they stand out aesthetically too, with other riders noticing how well they hold momentum and perform in all conditions (even outshining big-name options!). Delivering pro-level quality at a fair price is exactly our goal, so hearing you feel that way makes all the work worth it.
Fast shipping to Canada and exceeding your expectations across performance, looks, and service? That’s the full package we strive for. Thank you so much for choosing Elitewheels—here’s to many more thousands of amazing km ahead!

Drive Helix 46 SS
I give you a quick report on the wheels(Helix Drive 46 SS) I've been using for the last 2 weeks.
First of all, the installation on a Specialized Roubaix Shimano 105 went very well. Everything fitted perfectly.
In terms of use, I've saved almost 1kg compared to my previous wheels, particularly by removing the butyl inner tubes. The result is excellent, the bike is more comfortable, more agile and easier to relaunch.
In short, I'm very happy, it's a success.
Well done, great job.

Hi Phil,
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome update on your Drive Helix 46 SS wheels after two weeks of use—we’re thrilled to hear they’re exceeding your expectations!
It’s fantastic to know the installation on your Specialized Roubaix with Shimano 105 went smoothly and everything fit perfectly. And that nearly 1kg weight savings (thanks to ditching the butyl tubes!) translating to a more comfortable, agile ride that’s easier to relaunch? That’s exactly the performance we aim for.
Your excitement and satisfaction mean the world to us—this is why we pour so much into crafting these wheels. Thank you for choosing Elitewheels, and here’s to many more great rides ahead!
Have purchased three Elite Drive wheelsets…
I have now purchased three wheelsets from Elite. A set of Drive 50v for my old road bike, purchased 4+ years ago, still straight and true!!! Second set was a set of Drive Gravel wheels for the gravel bike, ridden Unbound 2 x, plus lots of gravel races and rides, and they are also STILL perfectly straight and true.
Bought a set of the new Drive II's for my new road bike (disk), and oddly, the front wheel had a wobble when I received. Elite promptly replaced the wheel with a new straight, true wheel.
I'm very happy and satisfied with Elite's customer service on the new Drive II. They promptly responded and made sure I was satisfied.
Thanks Elite!!!!!

We’re sorry the new Drive II front wheel had a wobble, but thrilled our team could jump on it quickly and get you a straight, true replacement. Making sure you’re satisfied is our top priority, so your kind words mean the world.
Thank you for sticking with us through three sets—we truly appreciate it. Here’s to many more miles on your Drive II!

DRIVE 2 CLIMB TEST
I'm the happy owner of a pair of DRIVE II wheels with a 36/50 profile.
They're exceptional 1296g wheels, very easy to ride, with a good feel, just the right amount of stiffness but not too twitchy. I think that's due to the 23mm inner width.
Thanks to the 23mm inner width, with my 28mm tires removed from my old wheels with a 20mm inner width, the tires feel wider and provide better cornering grip.
The wheels are built with great care, you can tell.
Performance: I'll just tell you that on a climb I often do, behind my house, from 4km at 5%, I saved 28 seconds, using 3 watts less on average according to my power meter... Let's also say, with the same power, 7 seconds per km better than the 1500g wheels I had before, made of mid-range Bontragers...
That said, I'd add the most important thing: the customer service is spectacular. Many more well-known brands should just learn from their customer service!

Hi Luigi,
Wow, thank you for this incredible deep dive into your Drive II 36/50 wheels—we’re absolutely thrilled they’ve exceeded your expectations!
Hearing how their 1296g weight, balanced stiffness, and 23mm inner width elevate your ride is music to our ears. The way that inner width transforms your 28mm tires (from a 20mm rim) into a wider, grippier setup for cornering? That’s exactly the thoughtful design we pour into every wheelset. And the build quality shining through—we take pride in that, so it means a lot you noticed.
But those climb stats? Chef’s kiss. Saving 28 seconds over 4km at 5% with 3 watts less average power, and beating your old 1500g wheels by 7 seconds per km at the same effort? That’s the kind of real-world performance we dream of delivering. Amazing work out there!
And your shoutout to our customer service? We’re humbled. We strive to set the bar high, so knowing we’re hitting that mark (and that bigger brands could learn from us) is the ultimate compliment.
Here’s to many more PRs on that climb behind your house—and every ride beyond. Thank you for choosing Elitewheels!
Exceptional Wheels and even better customer support
I've been a loyal customer of EliteWheels since 2022.
I've owned the Drive, Helix wheelsets and TT Velo Disc wheel. Used for both training and racing. I can honestly say, all have been exceptional in performance and quality. On top of that, for a customer based in NZ, the customer service and support couldn't have been better if they were based locally.
I'm awaiting delivery of my Drive II wheelset. Expecting another premium product.

Hi Heynrich,
Your loyalty since 2022 means the world to us—thank you for trusting EliteWheels with your training and racing needs all these years! We’re thrilled to hear the Drive, Helix, and TT Velo Disc wheelsets have delivered exceptional performance and quality—those are the standards we live by.
It’s especially rewarding to know our customer service and support feel “as good as local” even for someone based in NZ—going the extra mile for our global riders is what we’re all about.
We can’t wait for you to unbox your Drive II wheelset—here’s to another premium addition to your collection and many more successful rides ahead.
Thanks again for being part of the EliteWheels family!
Don’t buy anything from them.
First I ordered a freehub that was labeled for my wheel. Waited forever to get it. Then it was wrong. And after tons of emails finally they send me the right one and then said they won’t refund me for the first one cause it was my fault I got the wrong one. Even though there was only one option on the site for the free hub needed. Worst company ever! And they wanted me to pay shipping back for the first freehub that they sent me which was wrong.

Hi CC,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience—we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
To help customers avoid issues with freehub selection, we’ve added a clear note on our product details page: “The freehub bodies listed are only compatible with wheels purchased directly from our official website. They may not be compatible with wheels bought from other channels, such as AliExpress or Amazon.”
We also want to clarify that different wheelsets on our site require specific freehubs. That’s why, before purchasing a freehub, we always recommend sharing your wheelset’s order number or exact model with our team. This helps prevent mismatches, as even wheelsets that look similar can have subtle differences that affect which freehub works. Relying solely on appearance or intuition can sometimes lead to errors, so this step is key.
In short, for the best results, we gently suggest that freehubs from our site are paired with wheelsets purchased directly through us—and sharing your order details beforehand ensures everything fits perfectly.
We hope this helps clarify things, and if you have further questions, please feel free to reach out.
Great wheels (G45 and Drive 50d II) and customer service
After good experience with the G45 SS on my gravelbike also got the Drive 50d II for my racer. And again a great weelset!
The delivery took a while (longer then the G45 cause its a new model?) but definitly worth it.
The wheels look and drive amazing. They are smooth running (love the bearings) and have very good driving behaviour. Even with hard wind (which we have all the time in The Netherlands).
The contact with the customer service is always friendly and they react very fast.
Overall (again) a great experience with Elite Wheels!

Thanks for sharing your awesome experience with both the G45 SS (on your gravel bike) and the new Drive 50d II (for your racer)—we’re thrilled both wheelsets have lived up to your expectations!
We appreciate your patience with the delivery of the Drive 50d II (new models can sometimes take a bit longer, but we’re stoked it was worth the wait). It’s fantastic to hear they look amazing, run smooth (love that you’re loving the bearings!), handle great even in those persistent Dutch winds, and that our customer service team kept things friendly and responsive.
Your continued trust means the world—here’s to many more epic rides on both sets!

Drive G36
I've purchased a pair o Drive G36 for my 3T Exploro bike.
This wheels changes the behaviour of the bike. Light and really stiff wheels you can do a faster and precise cornering. The wide rim gives my 700x40c tires a better grip.
Also, fantastic aftersales service. I had a problem with the ratchet system and in a week I had a new freewheel system at home that solved the issue.
It's my second pair of Elitewheels. I also own a pair of Drive D40 for my road bike.
