Date Reviewed: April 23, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Strengths: | Light, Well Built, Extremely Durable. | | Weaknesses: | This is certainly in the minor nit-pick range: I have not had to true these, but if you did, you would need to take the tire and rim strip out to so. No big deal considering these wheels seem pretty resistent to going out of true. | | Similar Products Used: | Spinergy Xyclone Disc, Spinergy Fall Lines and Mavic Crossmax XL | | Bike Setup: | Enduro Pro with a Fox 36RC2 Fork (20mm axle) | | Bottom Line: | These are exceptioanl strong yet light wheels. I was amazed at how much more climbable my All-Mountain bike became after swapping out from a full-blown DH wheelset. The rim is just a little wider than normal (not a full on double-wide) which I think helps strike a good balance between weight and burlyness. The things so far have taking plenty of abuse without the slightest hint of coming out of true.
This is great durable wheelset that is nearly in the racer XC wheelset weight range. Extremely well built and takes trail abuse like it was a DH/FR wheelset. An extremely good option if your are looking to lighten up a porky bike. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$589.00 | | Purchased At: | Kimsbikes-ebay | | Strengths: | Light, strong, easiest Stan's conversion I've ever done, look great, Hadley Freewheel, Bling-Bling, 20mm conversion parts included, did I mention light weight?, spoke color choices, . . . | | Weaknesses: | Will have to come up with a creative magnet mount for the bike computer. | | Similar Products Used: | Cane Creek Zonos and Duros, Alex Rims, other OEM wheelsets | | Bike Setup: | Giant Reign 21", Manitou Nixon Platinum 160mm, Sram X.0 r-der/X.9 shifters/Cassette, Shimano XT f-der, Thomson seatpost/stem, Mary bars, Aztek Powerlines cables, RaceFace Atlas Crankset, Wipperman nickel chain, Ergon grips, Maxxis tires, WTB kevlar saddle, Enduro pivot bearings, Cane Creek integrated headset, Spinergy Xyclone Enduro wheelset, Formula Oro K18 disc brakes, E13-DRS, rubber chicken. Total weight 31.5 lbs. | | Bottom Line: | This is based upon my first ride impression, I plan to post a follow-up review after several hundred miles.
Let me begin by saying that with gear I weight around 250lbs. Having had problems over the years breaking spokes on the rear wheel I chose the Enduros primarily for the strength of the PBO spokes. Another factor was the need for a 20mm through-axle hub for the new fork. I considered Easton AM, Bontrager Elite, Dave Thomas custom (DT240/Stans Rim) and after reading postings in the MTBR forums chose the Spinergy Enduros as, IMHO, they were the best value and offered the highest strength to weight ratio. The red spokes look good on the silver/black bike too!
I added the wheelset and a Nixon (thru axle-160mm) fork at the same time. I also knocked a total of 3.2 lbs. off the bike with this conversion (fork & wheels). (Previous fork was an 04 Marzocchi DropOff 1 QR-130mm).
Everything is now so much tighter up front. The wheels spin up nicely, track well, and felt stiff under side and steering loads compared to the Cane Creek Zonos(f)/Duros(r) combo I was running. I noticed absolutely no flex in these wheels while riding my favorite trails. (I used to get tire rub on the Zonos front during G-outs)
I used my original 4-5 year old Standard width Stan's Rim Strip set and was easily able to inflate the Maxxis tires using a floor pump. This amazed me, having been using Stan's for about five years, I was used to needing a compressed air source to make the job easier.
The Hadley freewheel is suprisingly quiet (which I prefer) and it engages very quickly.
I'll post again after I get a few more miles on 'em.
Who should buy them? Any AM and Clyde XC riders looking to increase strength and reduce weight. Riders wanting a forever wheelset that will easily convert between QR and 20mm.
Who shouldn't but them? Riders who would be better served by the lighter Xyclone Disc, and those who prefer rim brakes. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$580.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Damn strong, Damn light. | | Weaknesses: | comparitively expensive to a set of 'normal' wheels (well in the UK anyway). | | Similar Products Used: | Mavic crossmax xl's. | | Bike Setup: | Turner Rail, Sherman fireflys. kinda 4x meets all mountain. | | Bottom Line: | the best wheels i've ever had the pleasure of using.
these retail at over £500 in the UK ($1000) but boy, they are worth it! for strength vs weight you just cant beet them. + they 'feel' nice out on the trail, the PBO spokes give a slightly softer ride than standard spokes. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$580.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Lightweight yet very durable. Easy maintenance. Looks awesome on my red bike. | | Weaknesses: | Unfair advantage for people using something other than Xyclone Enduro. | | Similar Products Used: | Various mavic wheels and mavic rims with Shimano hubs. Xyclone Disc (awesome wheels). | | Bike Setup: | Intense Spider VPP, Xyclone Enduro, Full XTR. | | Bottom Line: | These wheels use 24 spokes with a 26mm wide rim. The spokes are twice the thickness of my Spinergy Xyclone Disc spokes. They are made of the same material but the extra thickness allows for less spokes being used yet a stronger wheel all together. I was told the rim is thicker than the Xyclone Disc which gives me a wheel that is a bit heavier than the Xyclone Disc but even stronger (is that possible?). If you are a guy/girl who likes to take drops and bash the rock gardens yet still pedal uphill this is the wheel set for you. There are not many wheels that are this light yet still handle the punishment of the everyday "trail bike". Buy them you won't regret it. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
