    Duration Product Used:2 Years
    Purchased At:with B1 Hornet Plus
    Bottom Line:These wheels are wonderfull on the road. They feel good in turns and bring the bike where you want it to go. The only real weak thing is the service of Mavic. Twice a spoke broke at the rim and damaged the rim. Both times after a bout 4.000 kilometers, were I bike about 15.000 km a year. At the end I received both times a new wheel, but it toke more than six weeks to check on faults. I'm happy to have more than 1 bike.

    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Purchased At:Prosport
    Strengths:Lightweight UST (only 1800g w/o skewers), good finish mate black (rims and hubs), stiff, almost no lateral flex (honestly, haven't noticed any), speeds smooth and quickly under rotation, carries well a 2.35" Nevegal, so that works for me.
    Weaknesses:Lame stickers, mainly the ones of the hub (who ever saw someone glue stickers to a hub?), rims could be wider (only 23,5mm, come on Mavic, it's called ENDURO, you knew?), rims are the same as XM-819 UST so you can build it for way less money, spokes are not Mavic's Zicral top alloy, needs a proper nipple wrench to true spokes.
    Similar Products Used:Shimano WH-765 wheelset, FSA XC-300, Custom 717/DT comp/XT hubs, Custom Sun SOS/DT Comp/XT hubs
    Bike Setup:Specialized Enduro Comp '05 XT/XTR components, thomson and easton cockpit, Fox F130RL front, Float R rear, weight 27,8lbs.
    Bottom Line:Got the wheels under a sale offer, they are my first Mavic wheelset. They are not spetacular, not as impresive as others Mavic's top wheels XL or SL, but they do the job. Handles well around corners, they keep the line you want the bike to go, and they respond very well under braking, they don't seem to twist like some other wheels. Not jumped with them yet, but they seem very solid, and they are very well built, except for the stickers. Gonna ride it for more time and after 6 months I will enter a new review with trash test results. But so far, they are very good wheels for the price. Better than Shimano WH-765 and FSA XC-300.

    Favorite Trail:Bob's option
    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Price Paid: $260.00
    Purchased At:eBay, used
    Strengths:weight, rim strength, can go tubes or tubeless, looks
    Weaknesses:quite a bit of lateral flex
    Similar Products Used:Rhyno Lite, 317, DS-1 XC
    Bike Setup:Jamis XLT
    Bottom Line:Nice wheelset - great hubs and skewers. I agree with the previous review... noticeable amount of flex in the rim, but has not damaged the wheelset in any way. I'm about 185 pounds and I ride pretty hard over some ugly stuff. Rims have not gone out of true. 24 spokes, you can expect some flex... might bother some people, but it's really pretty minor. Definitely not designed for freeride applications, and might not be worthy of the 'Enduro' name.

    Date Reviewed: September 4, 2006
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Price Paid: $400.00
    Purchased At:Champion Cyclery
    Strengths:Super strong and light weight. Straight pull spokes are the reason for much of the strength.
    Weaknesses:none really
    Similar Products Used:mavic 223 rims, 317 rims...
    Bike Setup:04 Specialized Enduro Expert...lots of extras
    Bottom Line:They have some flex to them, but it is to be expected with 24 spokes. It has not in any way affected the performance of the wheels. I dirt jump with them and take drops and they have held up well. No sign of weakness...

    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $475.00
    Purchased At:LBS
    Strengths:Much quicker engagement than my last set
    UST
    great deal from my LBS
    Weaknesses:Don't know yet - I only have one ride on them so far.
    Similar Products Used:Shimano M525 hub laced to Mavic 139 rims
    Bike Setup:01 S-Works FSR w/ lots a goodies
    Bottom Line:Stil early to tell as I just got these last week. The biggest difference was how quickly the rear hub engaged compared to my last one. It made it much easier to properly time my pedal strokes over logs and around corners without loosing power.

    hey are also about the same weight as the XL's, possibly even less if you are using the adapters for a QR.

    I will update later after some more time on them, but so far so good!

    Duration Product Used:Tested or demo'ed only
    Price Paid: $700.00
    Purchased At:christchurch
    Strengths:looks are all they seem to have going for them
    Weaknesses:very poor back up in New Zealand. I ordered 2005 wheels in may ,they arrived more than a month later and had bent axles. Shop tried to get parts from NZ importer and got the run around. I cancelled the order in late August.
    Similar Products Used:Hope hubs with Mavic rims and Stans
    Bike Setup:2005 Stumpjumper 120 Expert with Hollowtech 2 cranks,XTR cluster,959 pedals,Hope hubs and brakes.
    Bottom Line:Perhaps if a new importer takes control of the product in NZ I would reconsider owning a Mavic wheelset.

    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Price Paid: $400.00
    Purchased At:REI
    Strengths:Oh what a difference UST makes!
    Traction of UST and smooth rolling hubs!
    Weaknesses:Flex, to much flex for a wheel called an 'enduro.'
    Hard turns picking my way down steeps the front'll flex.
    Jamming jumps @ speed can make'r rub my stays a taste.
    Similar Products Used:XT hubs laced to 219 and sweet King/discs on 819's
    Bike Setup:Titus SwitchBlade w/ RP3 and 5.7" matted to a FOX 125 Vanilla R
    Bottom Line:Worth the sale price of 4 bills but at $500 I'd spend more for better...
    All in all a good set for me, though I don't expect them to last 2 yrs.
