Pros:​
  • My favorite wheel for the price
  • Excellent engagement
  • Extremely durable
  • Very affordable
  • Nice ride that isn't overly harsh
​Cons:
  • Heavier than most carbon options​
  • Difficult to find in stock​
My Thoughts:​

You simply cannot beat these wheels for the price. They've got it all: durability, nice ride feel, low price, and excellent engagement. Nothing else can touch these for the price. Compared to wheels 3-4x their price, they're a little heavy and a little stiff, but that's to be expected.

I'll pick these over most $800-1000 wheels. Nukeproof did a fantastic job designing these. They were the heaviest and the stiffest in the test, but the fact that I'm even comparing them to $2k+ wheelsets says it all.
​


Here's where they fell compliance wise in this test:

Nukeproof HZN V2 (least compliant)
Curve Dirt Hoops
Evil Loopholes
​Atomik FM30 with Berd Spokes
Spinergy MMX 30
ZIPP 3ZERO Moto (most compliant)



Percieved weight

​Atomik FM30 with Berd Spokes (lightest feeling)
Curve Dirt Hoops
Spinergy MMX 30
Evil Loopholes
ZIPP 3ZERO Moto

Nukeproof HZN V2 (heaviest feeling)
