I've been offered a set of the above cheap - though might be a good alternative to the own brand hubs and mavic 319 on my hard tail. But can't find any reviews? Thoughts Anyone?

Lightish, very reliable internals, apparently stiff and spares quite easy to come by

If a good price, what is there to lose?

as jim says, very good hubs and easily serviced at a good weight and good price.

Better and probaly not much more money would e to get the XM401 rim laced to the 350 SP hubs with some comp SP.
You'll get a wheel that is only 47 grs heavier than the XM1501 with the same behaviour and quality. Just with a 350 hubs (same as spline two range) instead of the 240 like on the spline one.
Problem is finding the XM401

Best regards

It makes a very nice wheelset, this was my choice, and I can get any product from DT Swiss, it just made a lot of sense in terms of both the money and the quality
