How the numbers come about

  • All values are manufacturer claims from the brands’ shops and data sheets, as of 19 Oct 2026.
  • “Price from” is the cheapest offer for a wheelset in euros, as in the list, without shipping and import charges.
  • Median: half of the wheelsets are below, half above. “A quarter up to”: a quarter of the wheelsets are at this value or below, “three quarters up to” likewise.
  • If a value is missing, the wheelset only counts in the “unknown” row there and not in the median.
