Saint hubs - any good?

Morning all how's it going

I'm thinking about some new wheels for the Voltage and find myself drawn towards Saint hubs. I like Shimano hubs and the XTs on my other bikes have been great. What advantages do Saint hubs have?

Cheers

I would go for Zee. Only very slightly heavier, functionally just as good but much cheaper.
As far as I know Saint & Zee hubs are just a bit stronger than XT. The spoke flanges are thicker and the body is bulkier.

The saints are more durable however bear in mind the saints are all centrelock and IIRC they are a different centrelock to the other shimano hubs so you're basically stuck with the 203mm saint rotors.

They are however tough as old boots!
