The Good: Very light weight

The Bad: Highly prone to dents Easy to bend Not reliable

Overall:

I have now had a whole summer to ride on this new wheelset (not the one pictured - UST 150). I will say that this wheelset is very light for its intended use and should be taken into consideration when looking at the negative aspects.  However, with that said the outer rim of this wheelset is soft as butter.  I completely destroyed the front wheel on what i considered to be a mildly harsh landing on a 30 ft jump.  I destroyed the rear in a rock garden at angelfire.  After replacement i have decided to be a little more gentle, this is a very expensive product.  As of now i have a front wheel that is about 1/2 inch out of true and a rear wheel that is easily 3/4 of an inch out of true and will not hold a ust tire under any circumstance.  With all that said, the hubs and spokes seem to be pretty good.  No problems yet.  For reference i am 175 lbs and have probably 30-35 days of riding on the wheelset, 5 of which are races.

This is a good wheelset if you are any/all of the following: super lightweight person, exceptionally smooth rider through chunder, or only riding bermy jump trails at winter park.  Anyone else...don't bother.
