I have some wheels wich are completely laced with cx-ray, so unfortunately I can't tell about cx sprints. I weigh 73 kg and so far , I've ridden rear wheels with 24, 20 and even 16 spokes. I built a 16 spokes rear wheel from an old GPM Tecno rim to DT Swiss track hub with Cx-Rays for a friend who weighs approx. 100 kg and it hasn't exploded under him yet. They are strong spokes.

They are strong spokes
They're strong, but they may not be stiff enough for low spoke counts on road rears. Some are fine, others not so much. There are various factors, such as rim properties, rider weight and strength, riding style and perhaps above all how much wheel flex the rider and bike will tolerate without something getting rubbed up the wrong way

What is the consensus on CX-Ray vs CX-Sprints (either whole wheel or just on drive side) on rear wheels? I’m looking at some 45mm deep carbon rims laced with 24/24 spokes. I’m around 85kg riding on pretty rough roads.
