Miche Revox RC DX wheels review

Cycling Weekly Verdict

The Miche Revox RC DX wheels will instantly give an upgraded look to any bike, and hold their own on the flat and descending, with no wind buffering issues to speak of. However, over all they felt in rather underwhelming in general and lacklustre. Unfortunately without a real unique selling point in an overcrowded wheel market, they're somewhat overshadowed by competitors.
