Strengths: Weight, quick spin, light, agile, strong.Weaknesses: A bit squirrely if you're not used to them. You point, they go, so pay attention.Bottom Line: Owned these for over a year now and they are the best set of wheels I've ridden. Zero issues with them. The tolerances built in to them are what you'd expect from a $1,000+ set of wheels, and the low profile and attention to detail is excellent. The carbon fiber hubs make them incredibly light, but stiff, too, so you *will* feel the bumps in the road (the way I like it). When I'm hitting 35mph, I don't want to be riding in a Cadillac on two tiny rims. I want to feel the road beneath me. The hubs spin up incredibly fast. Tested them against my Khasim G3's just to see how quickly and fast they spun... after the G3's stopped, the Neutrons kept spinning for another 90 seconds!
As others have said, there was a test of wheelsets in Cycling Weekly back in 2010 where all the wheels were tested on the velodrome, with wattage/distance/speed all measured, and these were the fastest clincher tested (over the Shamals and Fulcrum Zeros!)

Strengths: Provide a firm ride and good stability when cornering on descents.Weaknesses: I have broken a couple rear spokes already in less than 5000 total miles. This concerns me because the wheels in each case have been true and properly tensioned. With each case, I was just barely pedaling while exiting a corner on flat road under low power. I weigh 175 pounds so this doesn't seem to be the cause either.Bottom Line: The wheels very solid and hold the road very well even on 50+ descents.
I still like the product, but wish my experience more closely echoed the "bulletproof" results others seem to find.

Strengths: Very light, for what it is.
Great climbing wheel, again, for the type of wheel it is.
Good fast wheel on the flats.Weaknesses: Not great for crits or sprints, to noodle-ly under load.
Broken lots of spokes, but I tend to do that on most training wheels.Bottom Line: Campagnolo Neutron ultra clincher wheels are a pretty good all round training wheel.
However, out of the box they have the slowest rolling hubs I've ever encountered. Very smooth, but simply slow, almost as if you were always riding into a head wind. An upgrade to the CULT ceramic bearings changed all that and now they roll as well as any wheel I have ridden.
Favorite Ride: Mont Ventoux
Purchased At: LBS
Similar Products Used: Lots over the years...
Bike Setup: I usually go through a pair of training wheels a year. These ones are on their last legs after a 13 months of hard training with loads of climbing, but they still have a b it of life left. When it comes time to replace them would I buy another pair, probably not.

Strengths: Spin nicely, very quiet, including freehub. Similar in comfort to the Open Pro wheelsets I have.Weaknesses: Before the second ride noticed play in the rear wheel bearing, and adjusted. So, not right from the factory. Installed used Pro Race tires with some effort by hand.Bottom Line: Was looking for a light clincher wheelset for training and a trip to Cuba. I'm about 190# & bought them to go with a new Cannondale Supersix. Only have a few rides so far. They arrived in 6 days from UK to Toronto.
