a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: December 17, 2012 Strengths: Lightweight, looks good, sounds good, kinda blingy (if that is important) and they are stiff/strong rims. Weaknesses: Broke more spokes then normal with these wheels (though the rims always stayed true). Spokes are proprietary and your lbs must by 12 at a time (or so they told me that is how mavic sells them). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: 286 (NC), Auburn SRA Duration Product Used: 4 months Price Paid: $250.00 Purchased At: Friend Similar Products Used: Vuelta, Stans, Mavic 819 and 717... Bike Setup: Light!

A Drum Date Reviewed: November 30, 2012 Strengths: Rolls great...love the way they look. I have really enjoyed them and no regrets. Weaknesses: Think my rear hub is toast with low milage and less than a year of use. Lots of hits online stating this is a huge issue. I am 6ft, 175lbs and only ride in dry conditions. Hope Mavic and LBS do the right thing! Trek 29er hardtail Bottom Line:

jonshonda Date Reviewed: September 21, 2012 Strengths: Strong hoops and spokes, mounts up tubeless like magic. Weaknesses: I toasted the rear hub within 200 miles, Mavic did warranty and gave me a complete new wheelset. Proprietary spokes can be a pita if you break them. No shop carries them, and your lucky if Mavic even has them in stock. Damn french Bottom Line:

Date Reviewed: March 10, 2010 Strengths: Lightweight, good looks, tubeless ready, accelerates faster, previous great experiences with many Mavic products Weaknesses: Skewers are not as secure and have plastic lever parts. Front wheel is making a strange noise as though the spokes are going to rip out under hard braking or under load. Front wheel does not not track as accurate as the DT Swiss(heavier) I replaced.
