Strengths: Hmm, not too sure. Reasonably light I guess.Weaknesses: Roll poorly, squeak, huge rolling resistance. Rear wheel horribly out of true after about 200 miles, most of it on single track/fire roads.Bottom Line: What a disappointment. My old 1800's held up pretty well, so I expected these to be fairly solid. The front is the 15mm thru axle version and the rear is the new 12x 142 thru axle. Unbelievably awful rolling resistance. I've had 3 speed grandma bikes that have better freehub spin. No kidding. A huge disappointment. Have to wonder why Yeti put them on their bike. I guess I figure when you spend around 5G for a bike you should get a better wheelset. I love the bike, but honestly these wheels just don't cut it.

Strengths: Strong enough for most trail riding. Stay true and roll easily. Seem fairly durable, have taken some side rock hits and very little damage. Fairly light. Quiet. Good looking.Weaknesses: A little flexy, but not too bad. The two pawl system lags a bit on engagement.Bottom Line: For the cost, a pretty good set of wheels. I set them up with the DT tubeless kit and they sealed up just fine. After 100+ miles of pretty ruthless cross country riding they are still true and in round. Granted, I am a bit of a lightweight (160 lbs) but they seem durable enough. Just light enough too. All in all I have to say I am impressed with this wheelset. I was a pretty sure they were a weak spot on the bike, but I was wrong. As I said earlier, the two pawl system does lag, but engagement is never a problem and I have to admit, they look pretty cool. DT swiss has a customer for life if these things hold up!
