I'm looking to upgrade the standard Bontrager alloy rims on my trek gen 3 Checkpoint SL 6.
Not many reports on these wheels from DT Swiss. And not to be confused with the spline versions.
Quality, durability, comfort, speed, etc. Anyone care to comment?

I live my dt swiss alu er1600 spline. They roll as smooth as my Cadex….
However, the flat bladed spokes have a tendency to make noise.
I have similar wheels with the exact same spec except different rims, and i guess the only thing to say about this is you can’t go wrong with this. 240 hubs are brilliant and easy to service, the spokes are some of the best, and rims likely to be also.
Only thing i would consider is if you really are in need of a wheelset like this. Like what is the intended use? If you’re not racing or chasing KOMs you might find just the same quality in a wheelset at half the price of these.
