The '07 spec Zeros I owned and the others I weighed were all inline with what the manufacturer claims. This '08 set doesn't even come close. In fact, it's closer to Fulcrum 1s which I could have gotten ALOT cheaper.

I'm rather impressed with Mavic considering that my '08 Kysrium SLs are significantly LIGHTER than their advertised claimed weight. As a whole (or at least in my experience), parts usually weigh more than the advertised claims
