Pros
I have the SL version. This is a fairly lightweight wheel with decent features for the price point. Ceramic bearings are a nice touch.
Cons
I've had the wheels for a year and just noticed a crack along the seam in the rear wheel (bummer). I ride only XC - no drops - and this shouldn't happen. Cost me another $80 to send it in to "see" if they will cover it under warranty. Until this, I was very happy with my purchase.
Review
I'll let you know after I hear back from FSA...
Pros
weight to pricepoint ratio.
Cons
weak
Review
A little weak, but fairly light and not too expensive. After aggressive riding they needed a true w/o any major or even moderate crashes. Not very durable but that is expected.
