The 28mm internal width gives my trail tires a nice square profile, and the whole thing feels stiff when I'm pushing hard through rock gardens. Laced up true out of the box and hasn't needed a single spoke tweak after a month of enduro laps.
The rim held up through a full season of rock gardens and rooty descents without a single ding, which I honestly didn't expect at this weight. The hub engagement is quick enough for techy climbs, and the whole wheel spins true straight out of the box.
