 Albeit throwing the whole lot at them they are simply indestructible. They act like they were made from steel blended with concrete. Laced onto Bulbs with DT Competition wire. A bit on a heavy side but absolutely impossible to destroy. Stay true no matter what. No flats despite the abuse. I believe that they are the best rims around.

 Brilliant rims. Super strong and light. Also very cheap compared to other rims of the same standard. Mine are still as straight as when they were first laced. Combined with the hope pro 2 hubs you have one of the best, strongest and cheapest wheelsets around

 10 dents and flatspot within a month. got sick of trueing everytime so i switched my rear rim to 729. it already got 3 big dents but kinda straight.though. my front rim is 721 and it still holds up good. i dont reccomend this rim to those who ride DH or FR on a hardtail and are thinking to get this rim for a rear wheel. do i weigh a lot? no way i only weigh 140.

 this rim is light and strong and Good price i would recommen them for freeriding and slopa,dirt,street but not downhill mayby but not hardcore if you relly need a strong dh rim you should get a mavic ex823

These rims can handle the most of riding style

 Got these laced up to Pro 2 hubs. I'm surprisingly astonished by their strength and weight. I dropped almost a pound over my previous wheelset and I've gone over a year with these as my race wheelset. Still completely true and only one ding, which is tiny!

 This rim mated with a set of King I.S.O's,would probably be in my top 5 wheels on the planet,which is saying something.They are as sturdy as anything else currently on the market,for half the price in some cases.
(Also recommended 721's mated to Hope pro 3's)
Absolutley flawless for the price.

 Been using these on my DH bikes for about 5 years now. Snapped several a spoke but the rims still hold true. Strong, strong, and strong. Will probably never use anything else. My advice, run them with high-quality hubs and they will never fail you.

 I've been on this product for 6 months now and for the weight(and yess i'm a weight weinnie) you can't get any better than this. Very strong lateraly, long wise is generally good, but that is because of an a abubaca gone wrong so about every 1-2 weeks i have to true it, but thats general repairs. I would recomend this rim to any street rider/dirt jumper that is 170lb or lighter and don't bother with the 32 spoke go with the 36 spoke much stiffer and easier to true.

 Narrower version of the Bad-Boy of Mavic's mountain line: the EX729. If you roll on 2.5-2.35 tires, this is the rim. This is a super-strong rim. It is the one that comes on the CrossLine and The DeeTraks. Gnarly strong.

 great rim, super strong, perfect for basicly any sort of riding (exept road obviously!) but good for anything from street,xc,dj,fr,dh...... perfect all round wheel and also very light but super strong.

 So strong for their weight! Got it laced to a pro 2 and its perfect! The yellow graphics are also an eye turner but alot of people have them, but this just reinforces how good these are I love them!

 Amazing rims. I was running Mavic 325s on shimano hubs all last season, then I picked up a set of these on Hope Pro II hubs and the weight difference was unbeleivable. The rims are strong and light. Worth buying for sure.

 Awesome rim. I've had 721's and 729's, both of which are very strong rims.

I ride downhill on one of these, and I haven't got a ding in over 5 months. They are light too, and look very nice on a mountain bicycle!

 Strong , light and robust. Strong enough for racing DH and light enough for racing 4x. Nice competitive weight a ~600g and the price isn' to bad either.

 Sweet light wheel if a little soft. They hold up well to all abuse and as long u as they r well built then no probs. Do keep on top of spoke tension.

 Strong and lite, run both front and back now, rear one could do with a true but that's after 8 months riding. Great rim, would buy again.
