Strengths: Light, fastWeaknesses: 1) Expensive.
2) Kind of flimsy
3) See #1Bottom Line: Less than impressed. At nearly $100 per rim, I expected more, and was let down. I'd been riding Mavic 819 UST rims, and was convinced to give the XR400's a shot. They're marginally lighter (when accounting for the rim strip, etc that I don't need with Mavics), but my rear wheel is beaten all to hell (3 major dents in the rim) after only a year. My Mavic's were beaten on for years and years without issue. I'd rather pay the weight penalty than have to worry about smashing these expensive hoops again.
I get the "Bontrager rule" - light, strong, cheap: pick 2. Apparantly with these rims you only get to pick one. Not strong. Not cheap.

Strengths: These rims are stronger than DT Swiss XR350 and a little bit heavier. They remain very light rims but really strong. I use them on my trail bike and they can manage 2.35 Nobby Nick tires. I made a lot of jumps with them and some little drop. No problems.Weaknesses: The surface color is thin like the XR350. They are not enduro rims.Bottom Line: These rims are no pro XC rims but I'm using them ad trail rims on an heavy bike. They manage the bike, the tracks and the large tires (2,25 and 2,35) without problems.
I suggest them if you wanna some strong XC wheels or some light Trail wheels.
