Winspace / Lun Wheelsets: The Performance Benchmark for Chinese Carbon Wheels

Amid the fierce competition among Chinese carbon wheel brands, Winspace’s Lun wheelset line has gradually become the quality benchmark for Chinese carbon wheels thanks to its outstanding aerodynamic performance and refined manufacturing quality. When wind tunnel data from independent testing organizations showed that Lun’s aerodynamic performance could rival or even surpass some top European and American brands, the entire cycling industry was forced to reassess the strength of Chinese carbon wheels.

Brand Background

Winspace is a cycling brand based in Shenzhen, China, primarily specializing in carbon fiber frames and wheelsets. Lun is Winspace’s wheelset sub-brand — the name comes from the pinyin of the Chinese character “輪” (wheel), simple and to the point.

Winspace’s team includes engineers from Europe and Taiwan, bringing an internationalized design perspective. The company operates its own carbon fiber factories in both Shenzhen and Dongguan, achieving vertical integration from design to manufacturing.

Product Lineup

Lun HYPER

HYPER 2025 (Front)	50mm	635g	21mm	—	—
HYPER 2025 (Rear)	55mm	785g	21mm	—	—
HYPER 2025 (Pair)	50/55mm	1,420g	21mm	US$1,699	NT$55,000

Lun HYPER Ultra

Model	Rim Depth	Weight	Price	Estimated Taiwan Landed Price
HYPER Ultra (Pair)	50/55mm	1,280g	US$2,699	NT$88,000

The HYPER Ultra uses higher-grade carbon fiber and carbon spokes, bringing the weight down to 1,280g.

Lun ROAD

Model	Rim Depth	Weight	Price	Estimated Taiwan Landed Price
ROAD 36	36mm	1,340g	US$1,299	NT$42,000
ROAD 50	50mm	1,410g	US$1,299	NT$42,000
ROAD 65	65mm	1,480g	US$1,399	NT$45,000

The Shock of the Wind Tunnel Data

Independent Test Results

The Lun HYPER has performed impressively in multiple independent wind tunnel tests. According to test reports from European cycling media, in weighted-average drag across a 0-20 degree yaw sweep, the Lun HYPER’s aerodynamic performance:

• Outperforms the Shimano Dura-Ace C50
• Approaches the Zipp 404 Firecrest
• Falls slightly short of the Zipp 404 NSW

Achieving aerodynamic performance close to Zipp at less than half the price is exactly what makes the Lun HYPER so impressive.

Rim Shape Design

The Lun’s rim shape design has clearly undergone serious aerodynamic optimization. Different front and rear rim depths (50mm front, 55mm rear), a progressive rim surface curvature, and a carefully designed leading and trailing edge — this design language closely mirrors that of top European and American brands.

Hub Specification

Lun wheelsets come standard with DT Swiss hubs:

• HYPER series: DT Swiss 240 (180 optional)
• ROAD series: DT Swiss 350 (240 optional)

Using DT Swiss hubs is a smart strategy — it immediately eliminates consumer doubts about hub quality and ensures convenient servicing worldwide.

Quality Control

Winspace/Lun’s quality control ranks among the top tier of Chinese carbon wheel brands:

• Carbon rims use Toray carbon fiber
• Every carbon rim undergoes ultrasonic inspection
• Weight consistency is controlled within ±20g of the stated value
• Surface finish reaches the standard of European and American brands

Buying Guide for Taiwan
