Zwift’s latest release includes the first-ever in-game wheelset from Miche. The Deva RD 62, along with the RD 52, are Miche’s flagship road-racing wheelsets:
They saw their grand tour debut with the Groupama-FDJ United team in the 2026 Giro d’Italia, paired with the Wilier Filante SL ID2 frame which also debuted this week on Zwift. Here’s how the Miche Deva RD 62 wheelset is described in the Drop Shop:
Thirty years in the making. The Deva RD 62 uses Vonoa carbon spokes and the Miche Formula, a blend of CFD, wind tunnel testing, and real-world validation, to refine every detail. All with one goal: to create the fastest and lightest Miche wheel yet.
The wheels are now available in the Drop Shop, accessible at level 29 and above, for 650,000 Drops. They are rated 4 stars for aero and 3 for weight, just like some other top all-arounder wheelsets. But how do they rank? Since Zwift’s 4-star rating system isn’t precise enough for our tastes, we ran these wheels through our standard battery of tests to determine exactly how they perform in Zwift and stack up against other wheelsets.
Let’s dive in and learn all about the in-game performance of Miche’s first Zwift wheelset!
Aero (Flat/Rolling) Performance
The Deva RD 62 turns in a strong performance in our flat tests, clocking a time that puts it just behind the most aero non-disc hoops in game (including the Swiss Side HADRON Ultimate 650 and Princeton Carbonworks Wake 6560).
Across an hour of flat riding, the Deva RD 62 puts 43.1 seconds into our stock 32mm carbon wheelset on the flats. The top non-disc hoops are ~1.5 seconds faster than the Deva RD 62, while the fastest disc wheel (DT Swiss ARC 1100 DICUT 85/Disc or Swiss Side equivalent) is ~7 seconds faster.
Climb Performance
The Deva RD 62 holds its own on climbs as well, keeping in step with the current crop of “super wheels” sporting deeper profiles and light weight. These wheels come in just ahead of the Swiss Side HADRON Ultimate 650 on climbs, but still behind the category-leading Princeton Carbonworks Wake 6560.
In an hour of climbing, the Deva RD 62 beats our stock 32mm carbon hoops by 7.2 seconds. The Princeton Carbonworks Wake 6560 are ahead of the stock wheels by 12.7 seconds, while the best climbers in game, the Princeton Carbonworks Alta 3532, are 14.5 seconds ahead.
Note: all test results above are from a 75kg, 183cm rider holding 300W steady using the Zwift Carbon frame.
Conclusions
Miche’s Deva RD 62 are a strong in-game debut for the Italian manufacturer, holding their own against all but the very best all-arounders in Zwift. They could be seen as a more climb-focused alternative to the Swiss Side HADRON Ultimate 650, or a more aero-focused alternative to the ENVE SES 4.5 PRO.
