the warranty is a little: you can see the warranty, but you can't used it.
I dont ride this wheels, and can't send to another one. no ones can't accept this issue.

Is there any more feedback on these wheels? Seems EF Education uses them so are they really that bad? They have become available after such a long time. They are pretty wide, Vision is well known for aero, 1390g - if real - is quite good, so are they really noodle? 21 spokes on front wheel seems quite low considering they are not carbon spokes...
Thanks!

Weight including the rim tapes? Swap them with tubeless tape and save around 50g.

Yes, with the pre-installed rim tapes for clincher use.
Maybe the tapes weight around 50g, not sure about that.
I also have Winspace Hyper Disc 38mm, listed weight 1343g, actual weight 617g+732g = 1349g (including rim tapes and XDR freehub)
I thought Metron 45 SL would be just 50g heavier than Hyper, but unluckily 100g+ heavier
Used Metron 45 SL for a couple of weeks, feel very satisfied with its performance.
It was not so smooth in the first couple of days while downhill without pedaling, but is much better now.
Noticably not as stable while encoutering side winds compared to lower-height wheels (ex: 38mm)
The wheels are stiff in 4-5w/kg hill climbing and have good accelerations response in flat roads.
More comfortable than the wheels with carbon spokes (ex: Hyper).
Overall I love Vision Metron 45 SL wheels.

vision metron 45 sl is very comfortable, the only issue is the spoke tension easy to deflect 1mm after some rides and the weigth back again to 1450gr.
this is not expecting weigth they promise.

Weight is normally quoted without rim tapes, so if this is 2x30g (somebody here reported this number) rim tapes included than 1390g is about right...extrusionedwin wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 9:10 amvision metron 45 sl is very comfortable, the only issue is the spoke tension easy to deflect 1mm after some rides and the weigth back again to 1450gr.

It´s a pity I can´t find any review of these:( I have found one review of the 60mm version which was pretty much positive and described them as an everyday wheel despite the 60mm depth. I have read here they failed in the Tour Mag review in 2022 but I don´t know what the problem was. I would appreciate some more feedback.
