Vision SC 60 SL i23 Disc Carbon Wheelset
Lighter. Faster. Race Ready.
The Vision SC 60 SL i23 Disc Carbon Wheelset is the premium lightweight option within Vision's Service Course range, designed for riders who demand maximum aerodynamic performance with reduced rotational weight.
Sharing many of the aerodynamic advantages of Vision's flagship Metron wheels, the SC 60 SL i23 combines a full carbon 60mm aero rim with a modern 23mm internal width and a lighter overall build, creating a wheelset that accelerates faster, climbs more efficiently and maintains exceptional speed on the flat.
Whether you're racing, competing in triathlon, tackling fast sportives or simply looking for the ultimate carbon wheel upgrade, the SC 60 SL i23 delivers elite-level performance without the premium price tag of many flagship wheelsets.
Hand-built with Vision's premium direct-pull hubs, aero bladed spokes and tubeless-ready rims, these wheels are engineered to perform at the highest level.
Why Choose the Vision SC 60 SL i23 Disc Carbon Wheelset?
Premium Aerodynamic Performance
Every aspect of the SC 60 SL i23 has been developed to minimise aerodynamic drag while maintaining superb stability in real-world riding conditions.
The 60mm deep carbon profile slices efficiently through the air, helping you maintain higher speeds with less effort whether you're racing solo, riding in a breakaway or pushing for your next personal best.
For riders looking for one wheelset that excels on both race day and fast training rides, this depth offers one of the best all-round aerodynamic solutions available.
