Strengths:    Less flexy than the Team Rings. Nice up/down shifts.

Weaknesses:    Small (24 tooth) chainring not strong enough - no non-aluminum option available.

Bottom Line:   
Have always been a fan of Raceface (except for some old team rings). The new 2011/12 turbine cranks are nice and stiff and shift great but there is one BIG issue, I have already broken off a tooth on the granny ring with very few hours logged on these rings. Replaced the broken granny and within 3 days - broke the same exact tooth off the new one. This tells me tehre must be a flaw. Bike chainline was verified okay, no binding or excessive looseness either. Did not hit anything either - breakage was due to torque from pedaling up staircases (I used to always break the pawls in the rear hub untill I went chris king). Wish there was a stell optytion for this ring. I think the thinner 10 speed rings don't help either.

Strengths:    light, strong, amazing upshifts, looks good

Weaknesses:    not really a weakness, but with light weight some durabilty my be sacrificed. time will tell.

Bottom Line:   
Another great chainring from Race Face. The new design shifts excellent! No waiting for the upshift, clean and crisp.
They seem stiff, and strong. I've clipped a couple of rocks with the big ring, but I coudn't find any nicks or gouges.
I will try and update if they show any abnormal wear, but so far, so good
