Listed in the MAVIC catalogues from '79 to '84 as 310 gram rims (in the '86 and '88 catalogues listed as 330 grams) OR 10 rims are listed as lightweight rims (not extra lightweight). 20mm wide section.

Personally I'd say not a rim for a heavy rider , but depending on # of spokes and riding style...

As for ERD from the looks of the section drawings I'd guess it'd be the same as a GP4, but that's just a guess.
