I cannot second the bad experience. The hubs have worked perfectly so far, both for me and people I ride with.
The rims (339C) have been perfect too, and even after crashing them at very high speed, I had no issues with them.
The worst part about the product are the "hyperlite" spokes. They are just too flimsy. The Berd alternative is said to be much more sturdy.

Incredibly light. Hope they deliver on quality, too.

I just got a set of 327c from r2 also, shimano freehub. Have not weighed yet but will.
I built a set of wheels with extralite hyperboost 3 hubs, berd spokes and BTLOS rims for a mtb (29" x 25mm ID) that came out to 896g for the set. I know these will not be that light but hopefully they are in the 970g range and reliable.

I cannot compare, but I have the XD-15, and they are working like a Charme.

I wish they did a hooked version of their 'gravel' wheelset. https://www.extralite.com/Products/HyperGravel.htm
It'd be great for 32 slicks (or 34s / 35s) as a more robust wheelset for climbing and descending. No way I'm chancing hookless though.

FYI I just did the Route Des Grandes Alpes on a set of Extralite CyberDisc 327Cs. Was very impressed with almost every aspect of them.
