Strengths: * Unbreakable so far!
* Spin well
* Light enoughWeaknesses: * None reallyBottom Line: I got these wheels on my Motobecane Titanium bike as standard ($2800). I am a Clydesdale - nearly 100kg (220lbs) so tend to put equipment through a real test (LOL - ie. I break a lot of stuff!)
I have been using this wheels for over 4000km (~2500 miles) and they are still spinning true without any work (didn't even need to tighten them after started riding them).
I have used them in sprint training, hills rides, long road races (one 262km race!) and plenty of crits. Have been through rain, heat and quite a few pot holes - still working very well.

Strengths: Light, look good.Weaknesses: Developed cracks at spoke nipples on rear wheel. Bike shop got mavic to warranty the wheel. I've been waiting 5 weeks and think the wheel was sent back to the motherland for rebuild.Bottom Line: I love the wheels, and there is a big improvement over my old wheels, especially when riding bridges.And they look good and are a less expensive alternative to SLs. Unfortunately at 2700 miles the rear wheel developed small 1" cracks at 8 spoke nipples.

Strengths: Smooth spin, good in crosswinds, handles rough pavement well, good graphics and style, spokes are coolWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: I bought these to replace my original wheelset and researched for about 2 months. So far they are everything as advertised. They are good for any type of road and I would think for racing as well. Look great on my Litespeed. Expensive but no tax and free shipping made it a deal.

Company doesn't honor warranty
Company is ran by monkeysBottom Line: I bought these wheels when they were on sale as a lighter set. It is tough to beat them on weight at the price. They aren't 404s, but they are light enough and solid enough drop the racers who do drop $2,000 on a wheel set. Makes them feel rather foolish too. They offer a hard ride, which can make your body sore if you are on a really rough road.
Overall, I am torn about how to feel about these wheels. They were great wheels for a year then the hub started to fall apart. I took it to the bike shop and they said it was a problem on Mavic's end but that the warranty would take care of it. Sent the wheel to Mavic and they refused to honor the warranty claiming "I hit something". Bike shop explained that they disagreed with that but no luck. It was cheaper to have them fix it than buy a new one. They were supposed to have it fixed 4 weeks ago and I still haven't seen it. They are just dicking around getting it fixed and claimed they didn't know they were supposed to have fixed it.
The wheels are good but the customer service and company sucks.
