True, and KT hubs instead of DT Swiss and different DT Swiss spokes. I ride (and love) the DV46CKT, which is really an Assault wheel without the Assault stickers. Bonktown had then for under $1,100 and is an authorized dealer. They were eligible for the RAP, which I jumped on. The DV46 UL uses a different layup, hence the lower weight. Is the weight difference worth over $1,200 retail? Only if you think so and have the extra cash.
