Strengths: Still trueWeaknesses: rear pinch flats, heavyBottom Line: I've had a couple of nice crashes on my hardtail and these Rims have never strayed out of true. Wish I could say the same for my cheap@ss brake rotors that seem to warp if I look at them funny. ...
Rear tends to pinch flats when jumping a high curb doesn't go off as planned. First two times I took it as I didn't have the pressure high enough.. third time I looked at the curb and said to myself "oh, you're going to make me flat" and then laughed while changing my tube out. Never had a problem on the trail, just street.
Frickn burly.
Value? They came with the frame i bought secondhand.
If you need something to take a beating, these'll work. Just keep an extra tube in your pack.
Favorite Trail: Demo (yeah, not a trail)

Strengths: Good overall geometry and weight for designed use.Weaknesses: needs welded jointBottom Line: The wheel works great for AM and smooth FR remember this rim does not have welded joint so if your going to do stair sets and gaps make sure you got some heaver tires, tubes, spokes and hub. The rim is great if you understand and build the wheel for what its designed for AM. If you wanted to DH this baby gunna have to double up in other areas.

Strengths: Strong & reliableWeaknesses: A little too heavyBottom Line: these rims came on my sx trail 06, and after 2 years of pure abuse it needed the front wheel trueing up because off a slight kick on the rim. Great set of rims just a litttle on the heavy side.

Strengths: Look pretty niceWeaknesses: No strength at all... Too many pinch flats with themBottom Line: Horrible experiences with them. First time out, flatted pretty easily.
I am not yet doing pretty big stuff like jumps, gaps and drops, however I am starting to DH pretty fast, and myself being 195 pounds, I need something strong. These rims ARE NOT.
Last time I rode, was going downhill kinda fast, missed a line and got into a 1 ft hole at speed... And COMPLETELY tacoed the rim.
I mean, I was a decent hit, but the rim completely destroyed itself, could be because I'm big, but combining that with the propensity to pinch flat, I would not recommend these rims to anybody...

Weaknesses: Cracked the rear wheel right at the weld from a 10 ft double. the landing wasn't really that hard, must have been right at the sup weld.Bottom Line: i've been riding for many years but only recently got into jumping. although this wasn't the best landing, i dont' think it was hard enough to crack a rim.
