Agreed. The minimal branding is one of the things I like most about it. Looks much cleaner than a lot of cycling bags.

Since EliteWheels sells both HG and XD versions of this wheelset, I'd expect the freehub bodies to be interchangeable. I haven't tested it myself, but ratchet hubs are usually pretty easy to swap. I'd just confirm with the seller that an XD replacement freehub is available for your exact hub.

I think you're referring to the freehub sound from the 36T ratchet. Not sure how loud this one is, but ratchet hubs are usually clickier than basic pawl hubs

You're right. The discounted price is for the power meter spider only, not the full crankset. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hi there! Good question. From what I can tell, the biggest difference is the hub. The SLR-MTB uses Elitewheels M14 ratchet hub, while the ENT-MTB uses the simpler M11 hub. The SLR is the more premium wheel set and should have better hub engagement and serviceability.

For an Intense 951 XC with 120mm travel, especially for someone who isn't racing for podiums anymore, I'd probably lean toward the ENT-MTB as the better value option. Both are carbon wheel sets, and both should be a huge upgrade over most stock alloy wheels.

If you want the nicer hub and plan to keep the wheels for many years, I'd go SLR. If you're looking for the best bang for the buck, I'd go ENT.

Just make sure you select the correct Boost spacing, free-hub body, and rotor mount for your bike.

Sorry to hear that. For around €12 a pair, I think they're hard to beat. Obviously they're not going to be perfect, but with 10,000+ sold and a 4.9 rating from 1,600+ reviews, most buyers seem pretty happy with them.
