Bitex is all-round better then Novatec.
Better bearings, better hub geometry and better freehub mechanism -
Mine came im 60g overweight for the pair (409g) which is still pretty respectable for disc hubs. Quality feels excellent and they built up very nicely. Won't be able to comment on durability till I've ridden them properly. 48 points of engagement was impressive though, and somewhat competitive with CK and Hope iirc. They also have replaceable end caps which is only a plus

If youre not absolutely set on that weight, 1600g wheelsets can be built up much cheaper. My bitex centrelock on wtb i21 was only ~£220 all in for 1700ish grams. Cx rays would have got me sub 1600 i think
