According to the product specialist

Pros
The Mavic Cosmic Elite UST wheels are a perfect all-round wheelset for all weather conditions. They are highly reliable and durable.
The UST tubeless system involves a tight union between rim and tyre to keep the tyre at the right pressure without the use of latex. The tyre can even be inflated with a regular bike pump.
The Cosmic Elite wheels feature durable and well-sealed Mavic QRM 2RS bearings. These are not easily affected by dirt and moisture, which makes them last a long time.
If you register the wheels on the Mavic website, the manufacturer's warranty is extended from 2 years to 3 years.
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.
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!
Cons
The UST technology is most effective with Mavic UST tyres. Other tubeless tyres fit the rim less perfectly.
The larger distance between the individual spokes makes it harder to true the wheel.
This wheelset's code doesn't immediately indicate Ultegra, but its quality is at Ultegra level.
