Frequently asked questions
Are the spokes robust enough for eMTB use?
Yes, they feature larger gauge Sapim J-bend spokes, with 28 holes in the front and 32 holes in the back, ensuring exceptional strength and torque resistance for eMTB demands.
Are these wheels suitable for aggressive trail riding?
Absolutely. These wheels are specifically engineered for All Mountain and Trail eMTB disciplines. They are built with a robust 6069 aluminum alloy and a smart spoking strategy to withstand high-impact riding and the heavy demands of full-power electric bikes.
Are these wheels compatible with my specific axle standard?
Yes, the Turbine eMTB wheels are designed to be highly versatile. They are available in a variety of configurations, including:
- Boost: 15x110mm front and 12x148mm rear.
- Super Boost: 12x157mm rear.
- Front Axle Options: Also available in 20x110mm Boost.
- Driver Bodies: Rear options cover Microspline, XD, and HG standards to ensure compatibility with most major drivetrain systems.
How do the front and rear wheels differ in construction?
To provide the best possible ride, the wheels are built with different priorities:
- Front Wheel: Engineered for increased compliance, helping to absorb trail chatter and improve rider comfort over technical terrain.
- Rear Wheel: Specifically reinforced to handle the intense, high-torque demands of aggressive eMTB riding and provide maximum durability against heavy impacts.
Is high-strength 6069 Aluminum used?
Yes, the Turbine eMTB Wheels are crafted from high-strength 6069 Aluminum.
This robust material is specifically used to:
- Boost Durability: It allows the proven Turbine rim profiles to be beefed up, enduring the relentless punishment, high system weight (rated up to 150 kg), and continuous torque loads of eMTBs.
- Optimize Performance: The alloy ensures the front rim maintains compliance for a better ride feel, while the rear rim is reinforced for maximum resistance to damage.
Does the hub feature a steel axle for durability?
Yes, the Turbine eMTB wheels are equipped with Race Face’s renowned Vault hubs, which feature a durable steel axle designed specifically to handle the heavy loads and rigorous demands of full-power e-bike riding.
