I am running the cyclones and the cleat recess is good, minimal cleat noise on pavement. Fit is good and they had a full season at whistler last year and are still in very good shape. The raven is a bit ugly for me, but, 5.10 definitely have the clipless formula down. I would like it if they made a beefier tread pattern on their "freeride/downhill" shoes, The dot sole is pretty slippery when you are pushing up for that extra bit of descent in the back country.
I just recently got a pair of the Ravens. They are STIFF. Super comfy though and I like the little bit of extra protection on the inside of the ankle. I am having a little running them with my TIME ATAC Z pedals. I think I just need to get the cleat placement right though more than anything.
I still think that Addidas Hematoma's were the best DH shoes (clipless) made. Reasonably light. Good ankle protection and a steel toe for when you clip a rock.
