Strengths: Hubs, steel spokes for better aero and smoother ride. Stiff-ish Very tough.Weaknesses: Nothing really. Perhaps could have a more aero rim shape - it's a bit boxy.Bottom Line: 2011 version. Weight is 1530g on my Campagnolo freehubset. Best clincher wheels in the Campagnolo and Fulcrum range in my opinion - steel spokes are a good thing.

Strengths: Stiff, roll smooth and fast, very stable for my size, fast acceleration, corner well.Weaknesses: Could be lighter, but thats what Eurus and Fulcrum 1 + 0 are for. Tank like quick releases.Bottom Line: I'm surprised at some of the complaints, but many are from previous generations. My 2010 in Shimano freehub weighed 1590 gs - heavier than advertised but also not the Campy freehub, perhaps the diff. However MUCH stiffer than my Easton EA90 SLX (08) and RS 80's. Im 185-190 lbs so that really makes a difference. No more front flex while climbing, no wandering on rough roads, fast pedal response. I learned that stiffer wheels at my weight are more important than light wheels. They roll and climb well and spin forever. No problems with durability so far or truing.
Favorite Ride: Any riding is good

Strengths: - Durability
- Price
- Campy qualityWeaknesses: - Front wheel flex
- Freehub engagement
- Not available in that awesome gold color like the Shamals.Bottom Line: I bought these wheels to replace the Campy Khamsin wheels that I had been running for a while. So far, I've only put between 700-800 miles on them, but they have performed flawlessly. Sure, they are not the lightest wheels on the market, but the run true, even after some forays onto single track, role fast, and are decently stiff. There is a little noticeable flex in the front wheel, and I'm only 165ish lbs. Also, I really wish the freehub engaged a little quicker than what its does, but I'm really getting nit-picky now.
Favorite Ride: Black Mountain

Strengths: Reliable, true, similar weight as carbon clinchers 2-3x the priceWeaknesses: No weaknesses for the price - handbuilt record-open pro probably better/cheaper for training longevity...Bottom Line: Clocked 15,000+ kms on zonda's (2008 model) over slow crappy roads in the dark over the last 12 months and still straight as a die. Save the carbon for big events cause these will do fine for training and club racing. Headset-like hub/bearing design is awesome. Can't say much more; riding these is convincing me to stay with the G3 style and shell out for a pair of shamal two way fit's in the near future.

Strengths: Great looking wheelset. Strong(2005 version), light weight,and low rolling resistance.Weaknesses: The price of Campy's product has increased dramatically since I purchased the wheelset, now they are about $600!!!Bottom Line: After reading the post on this site, I decided to buy the 2005 model. They are heavier by about 400g. I weigh in at about 250 lbs, and with winter gear on this can jump to 270 lbs. Although the roads aren't bad around here, they are far from smothe, with rocks peppered in and sticking out of the asphalt. after about 2000 miles I have had no complaints. I was riding along with another rider that weighed the same as me. He had Spingery Carbon Wheels and it seemed like I was rolling farther than he did after we both stopped pedaling. Although, the wheels have a low spoke count, I don't find the wheels to be harsh as some have stated that they would be. I have a set of Mavic Open Pros on my Pegoretti. They have about 32 spokes per wheel, and it doesn't feel less harsh than the Zhondas. The Zhondas are the most I have ever spent on any wheelset, but I feel they are a great value given the G3 spoke design and the quality of the wheelset. Also, it is simply a "Cool" set of wheels that makes me want to through my leg over my bike and go for a ride.
