Saw a set of these over the weekend.

Looks like awesome wheels, anyone ridden them?

 

Weighs 1.35kg, stiff as a you know what, and looks damn good.

 

just with the current exchange rate they are pretty expensive.

What, no opinions on these?

Lots of opinions on these, you just joined the debate a bit late. Search for R-Sys and you'll find a recent thread.

 

They're so awesome that Mavic decided to recall them.

Thanks Johan, will have a look

If you're looking for sallow reim wheels, why not just buy a set of Mavic Ksyrium ES wheels.much cheaper, same performance (approx) and tough - on the hub last week for R4500 (Ithink)

I'm currently decising between the R-sys and the Easton EA90 slx 2009. I like the look of the R-sys, but the easton's much better price.

[RABUBI]

Kriek, whats the prices on the two options?

I ride these wheels they are very light  and handle nicely. They were recalled but they did give me a set of Aksiums for free to keep.
