You get what you pay for – Cyclingnews' wind tunnel testing proves expensive wheels are actually faster, with one exception

Wind tunnel wheels test.

The Artech 6.A road wheels from Dutch brand Scope have been crowned not only the fastest road wheelset on test but the lightest too in an 18-wheelset wind tunnel mega test by Cyclingnews.

The results suggest a saving of as many as 20.6 watts against an entry-level wheelset at pro peloton race speeds of 50kph, or up to 5.6 watts at a more attainable 30kph, as well as a weight saving of 435g.
