Strengths: Fairly Light. Good looking. Color scheme matches my Stumpy Expert. Look to be pretty strong...Weaknesses: Can be a pain to air up ans seat TLR tires, but once they are on, they seal up pretty well. (This is true of most UST rims)Bottom Line: The truth is that I have only done a couple rides on these wheels, but I am very pleased. My stock wheelset (replaced after 75 miles) would never hold true, dish, or spoke tension) Specialized told me to take a hike????
I am 220, very powerful and after a couple rides on techy singletrack and stand up climbs, these wheels have stayed perfect. They spin up pretty and are surprisingly stiff under me. These will be may race wheels and I will probably do most of my training on some cheaper Fulcrum Heavy wheels. Will update review after some more mi8les and testing...
I also got lucky and found these for a pretty good price online from an authorized dealer, so I am pretty happy.

Strengths: Lightweight, quiet rear hub, good looking graphicsWeaknesses: none yetBottom Line: I was going between these and the Havens, glad I went with these for the weight savings. Really light and stronger than I expected. They climb great, strong on decents. I weigh 200lbs and pushed it pretty hard down Apex in Golden (downhill worthy trail), and also wrecked in a manner that landed all of my weight on the back of the wheel while the bike was laying on it's side....no problems. These wheels are awesome for their intended purpose, even for the heavier XC riders.

Strengths: light!, fast, bling*Weaknesses: setting up tubeless was kind of a pain (non-UST tire), but still got it on.Bottom Line: Glad their making super light 29er wheels now. Just by upgrading to these wheels, took almost 2 lbs off of my Mavic TN719 rims+x9 hubs. These look great and roll fast. Hubs seem strong, little flex. No issues w/ strenth so far, but have only had for 3-4 months. So far, excellent wheels. I had some trouble setting up non tubeless ready IKONs,but that should be expected. I hear setting up tubeless ready tires are a breeze. No leaks since they popped on though.
