They do seem to have much confidence in their product. It carries a lifetime crash warranty. Original owner will pay 50% of new price in case of crash damage.

 

I have a couple of mates in the 110 - 120kg super heavyweight class riding them - no issues to far, and they are both BRUTAL on kit.

 

I have a little pocket knife - now about 30 year old - lifetime warrantee against everything - including loss - NO WAY will I ever lose that toy..

I would go enve or reynolds if I went name brand, I have had good results with some chinese rims but they do tend to deform if they hit too hard.

 

Although, a well built set of crests, will put you way ahead. in my view, for similar weight and 95% of the stiffness and half the price, not such a heart sort if you do pringle them.

 

Carbon clinchers come in more or less at the same weight of good alu, rims, in total wheel build, they double the price. They also a lot stiffer, and take some getting used to.

 

Tubulars, alu - rim and wheel builds are the same cost, about 100g less per wheel than alu.

Tubulars, carbon - 180g to 200g lighter than alu clincher.

Tyres - decent clinchers, with suitable sidewalls, tubeless ready. 600-700g

Tyres- tubular, same side wall, 500g.

Tyres- clincher protection- 650 -800g

Tyres- tubular protection - 550g.

 

so it depends on your previous build, you can save between 1.0kg and 1.8kg.

 

Yes the tyres are expensive, yes they not for everyone. yes they fast, yes there is no subsitute for training,
