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.
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.
Thanks to the aerodynamic 57 mm rim and a weight of 1675 grams, the R5 Disc wheels are ideal for fast rides on the flat.
Thanks to the Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics technology, the rim is optimised to achieve the optimal and most aerodynamic rim profile.
The Diamond Ratchet Body system is extremely light and ensures that the power delivered is transferred to the wheel even faster.
Riding tubeless has many advantages: more comfort, lower rolling resistance and better puncture resistance.
Scope wheels are developed in the Netherlands in cooperation with Schwalbe, SKF, TU Eindhoven and TU Delft, so high quality is guaranteed.
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.
Cons
Carbon spokes are slightly more fragile in case of an impact but the set includes four spare spokes!
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.
No wheel bags or brake discs are included when buying a wheelset.
A body for Sram XDR, Campagnolo or Campagnolo N3W is available separately.
Stainless steel spokes are relatively heavy, but they do provide these wheels with extra lateral rigidity.
