Welcome to Velo’s Taipei Cycle Show coverage, where we share our favorite things we’ve found at the 2026 show. Bikes, components, accessories, and more: if we think it’s cool, you’ll see it. See the rest of our coverage here.
Sometimes the most interesting hardware on the floor of the Taipei Cycle Show doesn’t need a deep dive. Here are the quick hits and stray details that stopped me in my tracks during the first day of the 2026 show.

Before we get to the pure eye candy, though, Vision dropped a new version of their top-tier wheels that actually needs a quick explainer. The Vision Metron 45 and 60 RS already existed as high-end carbon hoops featuring a 23mm internal width, hooked rim beads, carbon spokes, and a highly competitive 1,290g (45mm) or 1,390g (60mm) wheelset weight. Today’s ‘Silver Edition’ launch takes that existing platform and upgrades it with fresh graphics and CeramicSpeed bearings.

Pricing is set at $3,599 (€3,149 / £3,099.99) for the 45 RS Silver Edition and $3,675 (€3,219 / £3,199.99) for the 60 RS. You can find the full details on the Vision website.


As for the $400 power meter pedals from the headline, you’ll find them tucked into a corner of the FSA booth. The company behind them, MessWerk, isn’t an FSA brand, but they share a connection: both utilize Power2Max technology.

The pedals stand out for more than just the price tag. MessWerk’s founder told me he wants riders to be able to easily and regularly swap pedal bodies without ever needing to read a manual. True to that philosophy, the system is designed to seamlessly swap between SPD-SL, Look Keo, or SPD, and you can even add lights depending on the pedal body you choose.

If that all sounds too good to be true, it is—for now. This is a “coming soon” product, but I’m told “soon” means this summer, and the target price is in the $400 range for a set of dual-sided power pedals. For more information visit the Messwerk website.
