Truly the greatest XC wheels
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
These have been a MAGICAL shift in performance compared to my old wheels. The sub 1000g weight is incredible. They dance uphill and everything is propelled toward forward motion. They are light but make no mistake they are tough. The rim has survived multiple tire bottom outs and *SMACKS* against rocks. The carbon spokes hold up well and haven't been an issue. The rim seats up easy and the tape is great. Compliance is another aspect I noticed with these, the carbon spokes help the wheel track and I feel in control. There is not ping-pong effect as I charge through rock gardens. the comfort is there and adds to the overall system. The hubs are great, They are quiet but get louder with use. The DT180 hubs are low drag, I love it. They do not match I9 levels of engagement but I do just fine without it. Plus I love the durability and low drag. Overall these wheels are a masterpiece of engineering! Highly recommend.
