    Dear all peeps.

    Im totally new here, and fairly new to road bike.

    I very recently just bought myself a new Specialized Venge Elite, 2017.

    However, it says on the website it comes with “Axis Elite, QR” Wheelset. 
    But a few days after i picked up the bike, i realized the wheels that is on my bike is “DT Swiss R460“.

    So my question is, what is the difference between;

    Axis Elite, QR
    DT Swiss R460

    ???

    I’d try to google the difference – However i had trouble finding any information about Axis Elite, QR Wheelset. The only Axis i can find, is a wheelset called Axis 2.0 & 4.0.

    Regardless. I am interested in knowing the differences between the two wheelsets. 
    Like price differences and strenght & weakness’. 

    Hope you guys can help me out.

    Best regards

    The Axis wheelset are

    The Axis wheelset are essetially Specialized “Own Brand”, pretty basic to keep the cost down.  The DT Swiss ones are very basic too, but the name is a bit more premium.

     

    It seems a bit odd that the bike has come with different wheels, but as mtbomo has said you’ve probably done OK out of it.  Worth asking the shop you bought it from I guess, in case of any warranty issues it would be useful to document that this is the spec they sold you.

    DTSwiss probably have a more

    DTSwiss probably have a more premium brand reputation, so I’d be happier to have some DTSwiss wheels swapped in rather than vice versa.  Seems that Axis components, like brake calipers, usually get spec’d when the manufacturer can’t budget for a full Shimano groupset.
