I'd like to see one of those wheels please.
From what I've seen, it's been the Bontrager Rule and then some.
With the Mavic, you get all that except aero, but a sturdier wheel.
(not to mention the support and service of a good company)
Wouldn't it depend upon what the rider's need is?
If the KE meets the riders needs better than any other, how is it overpriced?
Take me for example; I wanted sturdy first, weight next, cost last.
That's exactly what I got (not to mention the bling factor).
No wheel could come close to it for what I paid ($600./out the door, installed).
Just asking. No flaming.
