True. From what I can tell they achieve the weight but using an old skool rim width and lowish spoke count, which does make me wonder if they would survive riders over 80kg (me). For example the pretty bomb-proof fulcrum Quattro wheelset has roughly the same profile and price, but weighs 1725g (240g more)
Ultimately is can save 300g by drinking less beers. However I cannot afford to replace my training wheels every 3 months!

Spokes look like lasers. I'd avoid, either get something with proper bladed spokes or something heavier.

The Quattro LG is deeper and wider than the Cosine wheels, but they are weighed on Italian scales so the difference is probably more than 300g even though Wiggle probably understate the true weight too. Nonetheless, Campag have been in the factory built wheel business for over a quarter of a century, so if they think a budget mid-depth road wheelset should weigh 1.8kg, I'd be wary of newcomers who think they can lose 20% of that.

But is it true? And if it is, what have they compromised to hit that weight? You don't get owt for nowt.
