i have had a set of arrows for the last year. bomb proof. would buy another set again for sure if i ever need to, these have proven super solid rims and a great profile for my treads.

I love em, for a heavier rider or someone who really likes to plow over things they rock. They weigh though a bit more than a EX729 (something like 140g+ per just the rim).
I've had both their FRX and DHX wheels. DH wise I have no real need for any othe rims, the Arrows just take the abuse and keep going.
Really wide, really strong (not just hype), extraordinarily heavy. (There may be heavier, crappier rims out there...doublewides, Atomlabs, whatever...but these are the heaviest of any quality rim I've ever seen/used.)
For anyone who's not a really big dude, I couldn't recommend them...Mavic 321 (7-whatever-it's-called-now) are more appropriate for most people as a wide rim.
They don't crack at the eyelets like a D321 would, rather the weld cracks. Very rare though (doing stupid things like giant stair gaps etc...) will crack about any rim out there. DHX's are some of the stronger DH rims made period.
But any rim will meet its maker, just depends at what time
