Vision Metron RS 60 Wheelset
Deep-section aero speed for road racing, triathlon, and high-speed performance builds. The Vision Metron RS 60 Wheelset is a full-carbon race wheelset designed for riders who want a deeper 60 mm aerodynamic profile, fast engagement, modern tubeless-ready tire support, and the premium feel of Vision's Racing Series platform.
The Metron RS line is Vision's Racing Series wheel platform, built with a full-carbon rim, full-carbon DP aero spokes, a 23 mm internal rim width, and the V-1000 hub with PRS technology. FSAProshop and Vision list the Metron RS 60 at 1390 g per pair, giving it a powerful blend of aero depth, low weight, stiffness, and race-ready acceleration.
Why choose the Metron RS 60?
The 60 mm rim depth is made for riders who prioritize aerodynamic speed. It is especially well suited to fast road racing, triathlon, time-trial-style efforts, flat and rolling courses, breakaways, and riders who want a deep carbon wheelset that still uses a modern wide internal profile for current road tires.
Full-carbon construction
Vision describes Metron RS as its first full-carbon wheelset platform. The rim and DP aero spokes are carbon, and each wheelset is artisan built by hand. The result is a premium performance wheelset designed for efficient power transfer, low weight for its depth, and a clean high-speed feel under load.
Aerodynamics developed with CFD and wind-tunnel testing
The Metron RS platform was developed using extensive CFD analysis and wind-tunnel testing. The 60 mm profile is the deeper, faster-feeling option in the RS lineup, intended to reduce drag and hold speed on open roads while maintaining the stability expected from a modern race wheel.
PRS hub system with fast engagement
The V-1000 PRS hub uses a 72-tooth helical clutch ratchet for a 5-degree engagement angle. Vision states this is 24 percent faster engagement than the previous Vision 6-pawl system and DT 54T / 6.6-degree engagement, with improved durability and reduced power loss under load.
Freehub options
This Shopify import includes two freehub options: Shimano HG 11/12-Speed and SRAM XDR. Choose Shimano HG for Shimano road cassette compatibility. Choose SRAM XDR for SRAM AXS road drivetrains using XDR cassettes.

Buyer Questions & Answers
Is the Vision Metron RS 60 a road or triathlon wheelset?
It is designed for both road and triathlon use. The deeper 60 mm rim is a strong choice for riders who want high-speed aerodynamic performance on fast road bikes, triathlon bikes, and time-trial-style race setups.
What is the difference between Metron RS 60 and Metron RS 45?
The Metron RS 60 is the deeper, more aero-focused option. It is best for riders who prioritize speed on flatter and rolling terrain. The Metron RS 45 is the more versatile all-around depth for mixed terrain, climbing, and windier conditions.
