According to the product specialist

Pros
The WH-M8100 wheels give you great control on technical trails and are lightweight enough for hilly terrain.
As these rims are Tubeless Ready, switching to riding without inner tubes is easy. Add sealant and you can ride with a lower tyre pressure and are less likely to get punctures.
The Microspline freehub body is designed to prevent the cassette from eating into it.
Reliable and durable MTB wheelset in Deore quality.
The rims are tubeless, which means that they can easily be converted to a tubeless setup.
The hubs are fitted with cup & cone bearings which, with minimal maintenance, last much longer than industrial bearings.
The spokes are double butted; the thickening at the ends greatly reduces the chance of spoke breakage.
The 30 mm internal rim width makes the MT620 wheels ideal for Enduro use. The wide rim provides more control and stability in corners and technical descents.
These MTB wheels have a relatively lower weight and improved bearing quality compared to the Shimano Deore MT500 wheels.
Tubeless construction to overcome the risk of punctures without having to fit inner tubes.
The cup-connected bearings rotate better at different degree angles and, with minor maintenance, are much more durable than wheels with industrial bearings.
The body is made of steel so that the mountain bike cassette cannot corrode the body.
Cons
Shimano's Microspline freehub body is only compatible with Shimano 12-speed cassettes.
These wheels are a bit on the heavy side, but not overly heavy for a wheelset in this price range.
The Shimano Microspline body fit is only suitable for Shimano 12 speed cassettes.
