Vision Metron RS 45 Carbon Wheelset (Racing Series) (Shimano / XDR)

The Vision Metron RS 45 is Vision’s first full‑carbon 45mm wheelset built with carbon rims and carbon spokes for riders chasing maximum speed with a race‑day feel. Developed through CFD analysis and wind‑tunnel testing, the RS 45 targets the sweet spot for modern road and triathlon riding: fast aerodynamics, stable handling, and low weight that still feels responsive when you jump on the pedals.

A standout upgrade is the 23mm internal rim width, designed to suit today’s wider road tyres for improved tyre shape, cornering confidence, and comfort on rougher chip seal. It’s also tubeless ready, giving you the option to run lower pressures for a smoother ride and better puncture resistance—perfect for long training blocks, racing, and fast weekend bunch rides.

At the centre is the new V‑1000 hub platform with P.R.S. technology, engineered with a redesigned internal structure and direct‑pull spoke interface for stiffness and efficient power transfer. Vision also adds ceramic bearings for a smoother rolling feel and tool‑less maintenance features that simplify routine servicing. Built with 2:1 aero bladed spoke lacing (21 front / 24 rear) and ABS self‑locking nipples, the Metron RS 45 is finished as an artisan, hand‑built wheelset designed to stay tight and true under hard efforts.

For riders buying through bike shops in Brisbane, Queensland and across Australia, the Metron RS 45 is an ideal upgrade to pair with professional tubeless setup, wheel servicing, and drivetrain compatibility checks—especially when selecting the correct Shimano or SRAM freehub option and optimising tyre pressures for local road conditions.
