Wheels with carbon rims are no longer considered a luxury item: There are now numerous models with a professional look that are available for well under 1000 euros. But how do they compare to professional material? Our test of six models provides the answer. Here we take a look at the Aerycs Endurance 50.

The Hamburg-based specialist manages to meticulously and individually match wheels to the budget and intended use with a large belly load of individual components. The sharply calculated Endurance set is equipped with two different spoke types and durable DT Swiss hubs and achieves a balanced mix of weight and stability. The 22 millimetre wide rim is recommended for tyre widths of 25 to 35 millimetres, making the model more suitable for long tours on the road.

Aerycs uses tried-and-tested DT Swiss hubs as standard on the affordable Endurance.

Alternatively, the model is also available with 30 or 40 millimetre high rims. The price of 899 euros includes high-quality wheel bags and either a tubeless starter kit or classic inner tubes. Aerycs also offers the option of fitting tyres. A major strength is the customised construction: other hubs, spokes or numbers of spokes can be realised on request. This means that the wheels can be adapted not only to all shifting systems, but also to special requirements such as a higher rider weight or specific purposes.
