Strengths: Very stiff and fairly light. DT Swiss hubs always run smooth.Weaknesses: Will not hold air when run tubeless. Poor customer service.Bottom Line: Enve claims they can be run tubeless. This product still has flaws. While the rims are stiff and fairly light they are very difficult to run tubeless. The only way to do this is by using a Stans 29er valve/strip combo. If you use the Enve supplied valve and rim strip the wheels only hold air for a few hours. Barely the length of a long ride. The wheel was sent back to Enve several times for evaluation only to be told that it "looks ok" Wheel was returned twice and still does not hold air. The local bike shop tried several tires and several valves. Rim was re-taped with Enve supplied rim tape several times. No success.
I heard a lot about these wheels but so far I'm very dissappointed. I wouldn't recomend this product. They are way too expensive and customer service is poor.

Strengths: Strong and amazingly stiff wheels at a very good weight.Weaknesses: not for the light of wallet, ride quality gets a little harsh after 2.5 hours plus in the saddle.Bottom Line: These wheels are a game changing piece of equipment. They redefine what I thought what a stiff wheel is. I find myself riding more aggressive with these wheels because I know the wheels isn't going to deflect or bounce out of the way. After 2 plus years of full time use I have yet to true them and have definitely tagged them into a handful of rocks with zero sign of damage.
