$50.00 | | Purchased At: | AW Cycles, Reading U | | Strengths: | Looks good, is very weak. | | Weaknesses: | Weld point. Rim split after 2 days riding, don't buy is a waste of money if you intend on doing any form of downhilling. | | Similar Products Used: | Other mavic EX rims | | Bike Setup: | Specialised Demo 8 | | Bottom Line: | A waste of time, spend a little more money and get the next rim up. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$160.00 | | Purchased At: | Online | | Strengths: | Good overall geometry and weight for designed use. | | Weaknesses: | needs welded joint | | Similar Products Used: | Sun Ditchwitch, Alex ESD25, Mavic DeeTracks | | Bike Setup: | Either Specialized FSR or Azonic STeelhead | | Bottom 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. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 21, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Strengths: | Strong & reliable | | Weaknesses: | A little too heavy | | Bike Setup: | sx trail | | Bottom 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. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$80.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Look pretty nice | | Weaknesses: | No strength at all... Too many pinch flats with them | | Bike Setup: | Devinci Chilipepper, Marzocchi All Mountain 1 - Fox Vanilla R | | Bottom 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...
