I had been looking at carbon wheels and couldn't justify spending $2500 for a set of wheels.... that's just crazy.....even at the sale price of $1875 they are costly.....but the weight.....yeah they are feather light and reviews on durability are good....plus I'm only 155lbs and not a technical rider, so that should put to rest my concerns. Riding these...just one ride as of this review....well money spent has been forgotten.....these noticably roll faster and bike now get more air easier.....I do like them, but wouldn't have considered them at full price. For XC these are probably the best wheels currently available bar none

Came stock on my Epic Evo. More than 2000 miles of ruts roots and rock gardens so far with no issues whatsoever. Haven't even had to tighten a spoke. Really lightweight and engagement is quick.
