Description

Condition
Very good condition with excellent hubs and smooth bearings. Rims are true and round with very good brake surfaces – some pitting and light scratches have been carefully sanded smooth for consistent braking. The striking blue anodized finish on both rims and hubs remains vibrant. These lightweight, low-spoke wheels are ready to roll.

Inspected and Trued
Every wheelset I sell has been personally mounted on my truing stand and thoroughly inspected for true, round, and spoke tension. These wheels are ready to ride. Please note that due to the precise nature of wheel builds and shipping considerations, wheels cannot be returned or exchanged. That’s why I encourage you to watch the detailed video included with this listing and reach out with any questions before purchasing.

🏆 The Story Behind the WheelsXERO XR-3 Blue Anodized – 700c Lightweight Racing Wheels

“Racing Spirit”

XERO built their reputation over two decades by delivering performance that punches above its weight class. These XR-3 wheels showcase that philosophy with a rare blue anodized finish that immediately sets them apart from the crowd. The low spoke count (16 front, 20 rear) reflects a racing-focused design that prioritizes aerodynamics and reduced rotating weight, while the 6061-T6 aluminum alloy construction provides the stiffness needed for responsive handling. These aren’t common off-the-shelf wheels—the blue anodized treatment on both rims and hubs makes them genuinely unique.

🚴 The Ride
These wheels deliver quick acceleration and nimble handling thanks to their lightweight build and reduced spoke count. The 21.5mm rim depth with a narrower profile at the spoke bed creates a wheel that’s light enough for climbing but stable enough for fast descents. The machined brake surfaces provide consistent stopping power, and the XERO hubs spin smoothly with excellent freehub engagement. These are more than just a wheelset—they’re a statement.
