| Pros | Very strong, well built and you can have them either 20mm or regular 9mm front..They give you both kits. | | Cons | weight....If your concern is weight....Maybe something else | | Verdict | A great wheel set which can take a beating and then some. These can be used as a good all mountain wheel set. With sealed bearings and a strong freewheel these wheels hold up. Tire choices that fit this wheel range from 2.2 up to 2.5 i haven't tried anything bigger than that. But this wheel set rocks. Half the money compared to a equivalent of another manufacture. | | Recommended for: Anyone |
| Pros | Value, Strength, Versatility | | Cons | Weight | | Verdict | At $250 (from CBO) for a complete wheelset, the Azonic Outlaw is almost impossible to beat for sheer value. Add to the their indestructible nature and versatility, and it's a wonder that nearly every experienced mountainbiker doesn't have a set on their current ride.
However, the reason why this is possibly not the case is the weight of the wheelset. A set of Outlaws weighs 5.5lbs, whereas a set of Mavic Crossmax SX's weighs in at 4.3lbs.
However, the Outlaw offers a 20mm thru-axle/Quick-release conversion kit that makes a choice that much easier.
As a testament to the Azonic wheel's durability, I routinely run my tires at around 30psi, and slam them at high speeds through jagged rockgardens and root farms, and they've only need to be re-trued once. And even then, they were only slightly out of true.
The weight of this wheelset is offset well enough by the value and durability, enough so that I am more than willing to suffer a little more on the climbs. Peace of mind counts for a lot in my book! | | Recommended for: Extreme freeriders |
