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.

i think next week i will get my 327c :D
Extralite says mine will be at 976g with Shimano Freehub, so the 970g with XDR seems to be right :thumbup:
i make Photos etc. if they arrived :thumbup:

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.

Any reports on these wheels? I'm considering a pair as climbing wheels for my Aeroad on the big mountains (15km+ up and down)

What do you guys think of the different bearings they offer? Would you go all in with the xd-15?
Thanks

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.
