Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I believe the OP is referring to this set from performance.

The specs aren't posted there, but if you go to the main wheel page, the individual components for the wheelset are listed as 6500 for front and rear. The weights of the individual wheels are also listed as 841 g for the front and 1194 g for the rear = 2035 g total. Makes sense since the performance set is 32 spokes in a 3 cross configuration for both wheels.

Exactly. The black ones are a little more expensive and the performance ones I have seen were all 6500 hubs plus a little heavier bc of the 3 cross 32 up front.
