According to the product specialist

Pros
The Mantel R50 TLR wheelset is light (1540 grams) and aerodynamic, and competes with many popular wheel brands.
Aerodynamics tests have revealed that the Mantel R50D wheels are more aerodynamic than the widely used 2019 Zipp Firecrest Carbon 303.
Sleek looks on any road or cyclocross bike with its subtle and neutral sticker design that can be matched with any frame colour.
Straight pull spokes for optimal stiffness and a reduced risk of spoke breakage.
Internal spoke nipples for optimised aerodynamics.
All-round deployable 50mm high carbon wheels for rim brakes with a low weight of 1615g.
The rim width of 28mm gives a huge aerodynamic advantage and feels stable in the wind.
Strong and durable Pilar straight-pull spokes for instant power transfer and less chance of spoke breakage.
The set uses semi-ceramic bearings for low rolling resistance and maximum wattage gains.
The internal rim width of 17mm allows riding tyres of 23-33mm.
Ultegra's level of quality is well known, as you can see in these wheels: reliable bearings, straightpull spokes, lightweight.
These bearings are easy to maintain thanks to the smoothly running cup-conus system. Runs fantastically and is more durable than industrial bearings.
Can be used with tubes and tubeless!
The low weight of 1595 grams offers numerous advantages, such as easier acceleration after a turn and faster uphill riding.
Excellent all-round wheelset because of their balance between rigidity, weight, and rim depth.
Good power transfer thanks to the G3 spoke pattern, the high flange and shorter spokes in the rear wheel.
These wheels are very popular because of their extremely interesting price/performance ratio and are the counterpart to the Fulcrum Racing 3 at a more interesting price level.
Multi-purpose from training to racing, both in hilly terrain and on flat roads.
Cons
The carbon braking surface makes this wheel less suitable for long mountain descents with the risk of a blowout or rim deformation.
Not convertible to Sram XDR or Campagnolo from 2023 onwards.
The internal rim width of 17mm lags slightly behind the trends but allows 23mm to be fitted.
This wheelset's code doesn't immediately indicate Ultegra, but its quality is at Ultegra level.
The larger distance between the individual spokes makes it harder to true the wheel.
