According to the product specialist

Pros
-
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!
Cons
-
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.
