Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Xero wheels - Opinions?

Looking for a wheelset under $400. General riding. Looking for something dependable and light would be a bonus. Is the Xero XR-320 Aero worth the $? Have seen at retail about $350 a set. Others seem to like the XR-1. Any input appreciated. Is the XR-320 worth $100 more than the XR-1? Not much info on the XR-320 can be found on the net? Thanks.

I have these same wheels, and at 230 lbs I flexed the hell out of them. I upgraded them to a stiffer, hand-built set.
