Campagnolo Bullet Ultra-Cult 2019 Reviews/Opinions?

[Nomadmax]

I'm considering a set of 50mm aero wheels and know very little about them. I typically run clinchers on Mavic G-40s/Record hubs and Campy Zonda C17s. I'm looking for increased aerodynamic performance over the Zondas without a ton of extra weight. I'm considering these:

As someone who rides steel bikes from the 80s, I'm not interested in a completely carbon wheel. I don't want to change brake pads back and forth and I want good braking performance wet or dry. I ride fast club rides a couple times a week and mix it up pretty good considering I'm only 40 years away from being 100 years old. I don't race anymore but I still like to go fast.

Will the performance of the Bullets be better than the Zondas (with comparable tires/tubes) and if so are we talking a little, a lot or somewhere in between?

The last question is, how will the Bullet Ultras climb compared to the Zondas?

Thanks in advance for any info

I own two pairs of Campagnolo Bullet Ultra 50mm wheels with all the cool CULT bearings options.
They hold speed, turn well, climb well, and brake well.
They are attractive with more subdued "dark" graphics option selected. All thumbs-up from me.

Thank you!

Are the ones you have different other than the graphics being a little subdued?
Same specs I mean?

I personally won't pay that much for a pair of alu/carbon wheels. Campy Bullet is great enough and this site has them for sale for less than half the price of those ultras https://www.bike-components.de/en/Ca...eelset-p29527/

also Sciroccos are great too, even tho they are 35mm deep..

Thanks all!

I found the "Dark" models even cheaper than the link. I'm looking forward to trying them out
