I like how they are about equivalent to Zipp 808s and they act like they invented something new. About 3 years too late fellas.

Closer to Zipp 1080's. I'd guess they are 90mm to 100mm in depth.

From what I can see in the photo- it looks like they are doing the paired spoke thing but other than that they look to be copies of all the other deep carbon hoops out there. Zipp seems to be the only one doing the dimpled sides-do they have an exclusive on that process?

Yeah, it looks like a 1080. Either way, they are a day late to the picnic but act like they are pushing the envelope.

Not that I'm defending anything bontrager but when you read the article it says that the wheels have been around for awhile but no one wanted to race them back then. Steve Hed actually made some really deep wheels long before Zipp did.

Could be, but he didn't manage to make a dime on them while they were hanging on the wall, waiting for someone to get interested... In the meantime, Zipp was talking a new design and putting them ON THE ROAD

Hed has had deep wheels for at least as long as Zipp. Don't confuse advertising budget for innovation.
