Accidentally came across the just announced crabon version, bit out of budget!

So far we can only see a claimed weight for the 6 bolt hub - 617g for the front wheel and 740g for the rear, adding up to grand total of 1,357g. Price wise, expect to part with £590 for a front wheel and £660 for the rear.

Much advantage besides 300 or so grams!? Edit; I'd go Reynolds over these you can pick them up for £800 odd on the canyon site
They just caught my attention as new shiny things with Hope stamped on the side, I'm a sucker but would go Chinese/Handbuilt for that money.
Will probably save up and get either the Hope S-Pull or Prime Pro Disc.
