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.
With the Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty Program ensures a secure feeling that you can rely on help when your wheels get damaged.
D3 Dual Directional Design rim profile reduces air resistance around the tyre and rim.
Tubeless Ready (TLR) rims allow for quick conversion to a tubeless setup.
With the Bontrager Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty Program, you get a lifetime warranty and free repair/replacement in case of a crash or damage within 2 years of purchase. Ultimate security!
Super stiff wheelset.
The wheels are tubeless ready.
The grey hubs and minimal use of decals both look great on these wheels.
The cup-cone bearings by Shimano are highly reliable and easy to maintain.
The Exalith brake track offers excellent stopping power, even in the rain.
Comes with a set of decent Mavic tyres as standard.
The flat, thick spokes give your bike a striking look.
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.
No conspicuous decals, which, in many cases, may even be a pro.
The carbon braking surface makes this wheel less suitable for long mountain descents with the risk of a blowout or rim deformation.
The internal rim width is fairly narrow at 15 mm.
The brake pads wear out quicker because of the Exalith.
Sadly, you can't order the wheels without the tyres if you prefer to use your own tyres.
