Summary: $100 for the pair. That's enough reason to buy 'em. They're also lighter, stronger, more aero, etc than the Bontrager Selects they're replacing. $100? Cool.
Strengths: Currently only $100 now that Supergo is Performance. Lighter than my flimsy Bontrager Selects. More aero and lighter, too. And flat spokes. And the Supergo stickers peel off easily. :)
Weaknesses: They're deep enough (aero rimwise) I may need to get tubes with longer presta stems. And there were some metal shavings I had to shake out of the rim.

Summary: These are unbeatable for the $$$. I can't think of anything else with similar specs at this price. I love the look- all black. I peeled off 2 of 3 stickers though. My rear hub makes a slight humming noise. It's nothing bad- I don't mind it at all- just thought I'd mention it. For the price, these are a no brainer. Too bad Supergo stores will be no more, and it doesn't look like they will sell these anymore online. I happened to be up in Seattle last week and saw these (at what is now Performance) for $99/pr! I was tempted to take a set home even though I don't need them right now.
Strengths: -Light for the $$$
-Look great! (Just peel off the stickers if you don't like them or are brand name conscious)
Weaknesses: -Doesn't look like they'll be around much longer.

Summary: I bought these wheels in August 2003 right before Hotter n' Hell ride in Witchta Fall, TX. I had looked around for some decent mid-range wheelsets and decide to go with the Korsos. I really wanted some Mavic Ksyrium Elites but they were a little out of my price range. I got the wheels the day before I left to go to HHH. I put a Ultegra 12-23 9 spd cassette and Vittoria Techo Pro Int. Kelvar F2000 yellow tires(These tires have been quite good to me) on the wheels bit did not test ride the wheels before until the actual ride. I have now had them for 2 years and have had really no problems with them. I raced and trained on them and only trued them once. Probably put 2100-2300 miles on them (I rotate my wheelsets on my bike as not to wear them out. Use also Gipiemme Grecal Parades and Rolf Vectors). I ridden them on my beloved '94 steel Bianchi and they go well together. The Korsos spin well, nice and quiet, mid-weight(1755 gms),pretty stiff, climb and sprint good, and have aero properties. They are similar to Mavic Ksy. Elites I think, not quite as the super quality Mavics are known for (I know several guys who love and rave about thiers) but cheaper ($250 less) and still a good set of wheels. I'm glad I got mine. No regrets. Now time for some Ksyriums (!!).
Strengths: Godd quality
Middle weight range 1755 grams
Spin well
Stiff enough
Aero profile
Weaknesses: Maybe durability, but no problems yet
Could be lighter but knew that beforehand
Summary: I purchased these wheels about a month ago and was not expecting much for $125 on sale. I figured if they last a season fine. Everyone says these are rebadged Neuvation wheels with perhaps different spokes. I had purchased a set of Performance Titans which are essentially the same wheel with skinnier aero spokes. I have been using those on my TT bike and was impressed after a few hundred miles. So, I bought a pair of the Korsos when they went on sale to use as a training wheel to keep miles of my Ksyrium SL's. Like another writter mentioned, it is hard to really tell that much of a difference- especially on the flats. The Ksyriums handle fast turns better and are about 1500 or so grams lighter, but the Korsos track nicely, spin very smoothly and are pretty stiff. I weigh about 180 and can grind some gears and I don't feel much flex. So far so good..
Strengths: Cheap, relatively light. We will see how durable they are :)
Weaknesses: None yet for what they cost

Summary: I am doing a follow up review on these wheels.
These wheels are great. I have been using them as my everyday wheels since February and they are straight as an arrow. I have put around 1500 miles o them. The hubs are still silky and the freehub still silent. They are reasonably light and very stiff. You really couldn't ask for more at this price. As for the guy who thinks Supergo is paying people to write reviews -- don't be such a cynic! I wish they were paying me.
Strengths: Strong, stiff and still true after 1500 miles. Aerodynamics are good.
Weaknesses: A tad heavy to race with.
