Hands-on reviewProduct supplied Indoor and mountain riding test of the Drive II 50D with a comparison to the first generation, plus checks of trueness, spoke tension and the rim interior. The linked written review identifies the 50 mm depth. Cyclists Hub | Petr Minarik · 2025-09-13. The linked written review states that the manufacturer supplied the wheels. The description carries a 15% discount code and an affiliate disclosure. Disclosure basis.Watch on YouTube ↗Takeaways- Measured1:49Wheels supplied by Elitewheels. The 50 mm pair weighed 1,322 g with tape (1,300 g claimed without); internal width 23.2 mm, external about 30.7 mm; 28 mm tires measured just over 30 mm.
- Price at publication2:42Price rose from US$1,199 to US$1,299 for the second generation (September 2025), before the reviewer's discount code.
- Measured2:49Bench checks: lateral true within 0.3 mm, near-perfect radial true, every spoke within 5% of average tension, centred hubs and clean rim interiors.
- Build note3:2928 mm tires were the hardest he had ever fitted, needing levers, but seated with a floor pump without sealant; rims are a 'reduced hook' profile between hooked and hookless.
- Ride impression4:08Very responsive and quick to accelerate, a little harsh on rough roads, and rock-solid above 70 km/h and in crosswinds; the conical-ratchet hub had no issues after about 800 km.

- Build note5:31Generation II adds captured spoke heads in the hubs, wider 4.5 mm carbon spokes (21 front, 24 rear, spares included) and a conical ratchet hub with O-ring end caps; rims are drilled with pre-installed tape.
- Finish and faults7:52The stock 50-tooth ratchet was the loudest freehub he had owned, loud enough to stop conversation; Elitewheels sent a quieter 36-tooth ratchet that fixed it. The supplied tubeless valves remained too short for a floor pump.
- Ride impression12:18With 32 mm road tires at about 50 psi they felt fast and responsive without harshness, stayed true and ran tubeless without problems over a couple of months.

- Measured8:56The Drive G36 pair weighed about 1,325 g, 3 g less than the carbon-spoked Hunt; internal width is 25 mm.
