Vision introduces SC 45 SL and SC 60 SL wheels, plus updated Metron 5D EVO cockpit
New wheelset builds on Vision’s pro-level Metron series with full carbon rims and a 23 mm internal width for improved tire fit and stability
Vision has introduced two new models in its SC (Service-Course) wheel line: the SC 45 SL and SC 60 SL. These carbon wheelsets feature a 23 mm internal rim width designed to improve compatibility with wider tires and enhance stability. Both models use the new V-600 hub, which includes a 54-tooth Power Ratchet System (PRS) for faster and more precise engagement. This hub technology is also found in Vision’s Metron series.
Vision has also updated its METRON 5D EVO cockpit.
Hub features
The V-600 hub is built with a 54T ratchet mechanism. The angled contact surfaces of the PRS rings are designed to transmit power efficiently from the first pedal stroke. The hub shell is forged to improve strength, torsional stiffness, and minimize weight. I
Adaptability and conditions
The PRS hub includes weatherproof sealing for use across various conditions and temperatures ranging from -10°C to +60°C. Both straight-pull and J-bend flange versions are available. According to Vision, the 2:1 spoke lacing pattern aims to balance spoke tension between drive and non-drive sides.
Service and compatibility
A QR code is lasered onto the hub shell. It links to an online spare parts manual for easier maintenance. The wheels are tubeless-ready and use a Centerlock rotor mount. They are compatible with Shimano, SRAM, and Micro Spline drivetrains.

METRON 5D EVO bars
The METRON 5D EVO is an updated version of the 5D handlebar, which has been widely used in professional cycling since 2017. It retains the signature 10° forward angle designed to improve breathing on climbs and continues to feature integrated cable routing introduced in 2019 with the ACR version.
The EVO model is lighter at 320 g, with increased stiffness and improved vibration absorption. The stack height has been lowered by 1.5 cm to enhance aerodynamics. Ergonomic adjustments include an additional size and modified grip depth for L–XL bars, aiming to provide comfort for a wider range of riders.
