You can choose from the following sizes: 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, and 40 mm. This range ensures you can find the perfect match for everything from cross-country setups to heavy-hitting plus-tire rigs.
Is the asymmetrical profile purely for weight savings?
Not just for weight—the new asymmetrical profile is primarily engineered to provide optimal spoke tension balance. This results in a wheel that is laterally stiffer and more durable, giving you a more responsive feel on the trail.
What spoke count do these rims support?
These rims are designed to support a 32-spoke count, providing a strong and reliable wheel build for various mountain biking needs.
Does the asymmetrical design improve stiffness?
Yes, the asymmetrical profile is a fundamental design feature engineered to significantly enhance the rim’s structural integrity and performance. This offset geometry ensures the rim is:
- Stiffer and Stronger: Built from durable 6061 Aluminum with improved extrusion for superior resistance against hard impacts.
- Optimally Balanced: The asymmetrical profile helps equalize spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides, resulting in a more stable, durable, and balanced wheel.
