True.
As I've mentioned (a cajillion times) before, I firmly believe that the iO isn't that fast. Mavic has been riding a hype wave surrounding that wheel for over 20 years.
If a buyer is paying MSRP (what, like $4,000 now?), they should ask for wind tunnel receipts like they give for other wheels.
