Upgraded from the Enve AG25's earlier this year. The AG25's were a decent wheelset. Nothing to rave about but, not terrible. I cannot believe and never would have foreseen how much of a drastic difference there is in the ride and handling of the G23 over the AG25. I had hoped for some improvement but, stunned by the drastic change. It's like a completely different bike. The G23's inspire confidence on high-speed descents. They roll faster, climb better and add stability to the overall handling.
With the transition to Thru-axle as the new standard and for those of us that have bike with QR's, these are a great option. I have a 2018 Supersix EVO that has a thru axle for the front and Quick Release for the rear wheel. Great to have Mavic back in the US. They still allow end cap compatibility for for QR. I love my old Vision wheelset, but they no longer provide end caps for QR. Neither Shimano, ENVE or other popular brand, all do not have QR caps. They are also very stiff wheels and perform great. Couldn't be happier.
Bought this to replace a 2-year-old Shimano GRX rear wheel that started breaking spokes. Found out that Shimano uses a proprietary spoke and nipple that my local shops had trouble finding. DT Swiss is the standard - every shop in the country should have spokes/nipples for it. It's a touch heavier than the GRX wheel, but it's been rock solid and smooth for my 195-pound booty. The ratchet freehub feels good, not super quiet - but not too bad. Overall, no complaints here, aside from it costing a little more than I wanted to spend right now...
I purchased these to be my backup racing and everyday training wheels. My racing wheels are narrow tubular rims which don't allow for a quick change should I have a blowout either training or racing. Having a set of quality clinchers gives me a back up and, in the event they experience a flat, the possibility for changing the tube/tire quickly. These are a nice set of true, smooth rolling wheels of high quality that should last a long time.
