According to the product specialist

Pros
Carbon wheelset with a 50 mm rim height and an impressively low weight of 1300 grams!
With a 31 mm outer rim width and a 23 mm inner rim width, these wheels are perfect to fit today's wide tyres.
This all-round wheelset performs well in the mountains but is also very efficient at high speeds thanks to extensive testing at the Silverstone Engineering Hub.
The carbon spokes further reduce weight and optimise power transfer.
The hubs are machined to 0.02 mm tolerances, ensuring that the ceramic bearings have less resistance and last longer.
This is Elitewheels' most aerodynamic wheelset. It retains its stability in windy conditions and weighs only 1490 grams!
Its 55-65 mm rim profile retains the rigidity of a high rim and combines it with the wind stability of a low rim.
The wheels are optimised for 28-30 mm tyres to minimise rolling resistance and air resistance.
The Surface hubs have steel bearings. Thanks to their 0.02 mm tolerances, they get close to the rolling resistance and durability of ceramic bearings.
The Star Ratchet system engages quickly and results in immediate power transfer.
The Shimano Ultegra R8170 C50 wheels are lightweight, reliable and fast!
With a weight of 1562 grams, this wheelset is one of the more lightweight ones available.
Comfort is achieved by a wide, 21 mm tubeless rim. It's suitable for tyres with a width of 28 mm or more.
The wheels are also tubeless compatible. Riding tubeless with latex reduces the risk of punctures.
Unparalleled handling in terms of steering, and the sensitivity to wind is very low. The wheels feel like one with the bike.
Carbon wheelset with a 65 mm rim height and an impressively low weight of 1460 grams!
With a 31 mm outer rim width and a 23 mm inner rim width, these wheels are perfect to fit today's wide tyres.
This aerodynamic wheelset has been extensively tested at the Silverstone Engineering Hub and also climbs well due to its low weight.
The carbon spokes further reduce weight and optimise power transfer.
The hubs are machined to 0.02 mm tolerances, ensuring that the ceramic bearings have less resistance and last longer.
Cons
Carbon spokes are slightly more fragile in case of an impact but the set includes four spare spokes!
Stainless steel spokes are relatively heavy, but they do provide these wheels with extra lateral rigidity.
The Dura Ace 9170 C50 wheels take another 100 grams off the wheels, for the real weightweenies. It's bearing quality is also one more step better.
Carbon spokes are slightly more fragile in case of an impact but the set includes four spare spokes!
