I would recommend it, these rims are awesome so far! I run 2.3 maxxis dhf and HR2 tyres on them and they puff out more than the dhf 2.5 tyre that came on the factory rims with tubes!
It means that I can save weight by running a more narrow tyre that actually has a better foot print than the heavier, wider tyres.
The carbon rims look to weigh about 300gm less each rim than a standard equivalent rim, then tubless weight savings on top of that.
They were heaps lighter than my old spank spoon wheels. I seem to be able to run about 26psi in them as well without any burping etc

hey mate, I belive they are 'light bicycle' rims on hope pro 2 evo hubs. The rims are carbon, tubeless and seem to be pretty strong and light. I do some dh runs and big hucks and seem to cope pefectly. I think my model are the ones listed below:
