In this video I will be reviewing the SEKA Exceed RDC and Vortex No Comprise 60mm carbon wheels, provided by a company called Cycling 100. Notably, in this road bike review, I will be comparing the SEKA to other mainstream aero race bikes that I have ridden in the past, such as the Cannondale SystemSix, the Cervelo S5, the Specialized Venge, the BMC Timemachine, and the Merida Reacto. While I will quickly outline price and weight of these products, I will mainly focus on riding experience, proving you with an overall rating at the very end.
