Bike Radar Verdict 4.5/5!

 "Super-light weight gives an instant sense that you’ve installed a serious speed and responsiveness upgrade"

These very impressive new versions of American Classic's proven tubeless wheels save weight off your trail bike with no obvious stiffness or strength downsides.

The most obvious aspect of these wheels is a very low weight (1,582g) that’s comparable to carbon fibre wheels at a much lower cost. While freewheel pickup can lag, they light up very quickly once locked in. They flick and lift around effortlessly on the trail.

They’re not as stiff as the most rigid wheels available when you’re really ripping them round corners or rattling through rocky sections, but they still hold a line predictably enough to push the pace. The big, rounded rim has a super-wide 24mm internal diameter that fattens up mid-sized tyres noticeably and gives a secure footing for the biggest rubber, so grip or tyre roll is never an issue. 

So far they’ve handled all our local rockeries, steps and drops without denting or losing their tubeless ready integrity either. They’re tubeless taped as standard and valves are included too, although a slacker fit than most means a compressor is useful for inflating. It does mean you won’t be breaking tyre levers or thumbs trying to get your tyres on or off like some other sets. 

American Classic hubs generally last really well even under enduro/24-hour racers, the steel inserts add freehub longevity, and red marker spokes speed up valve finding.

Does not come with disc rotor reinforcements(last picture what you don't get,with diagram)but only important If you have disc rotors which are cut out in the bolt area...

There is a problem with some disc rotors on the market. The rotors are cut out in the bolt area and do not have a reinforced centre to properly support the international 6 bolt mounting system. The cut out rotors are weak at the bolts and result in failures. Bill Shook engineered the disc reinforcing ring to support the 6 mounting positions, effectively tying them together to work as a unit. Can be used on other hub brands. An ingenious technical solution to improve your riding. When you see the red disc reinforcing ring, you know it’s AC. (patent applied)
