Kinlin XC-279 700c 23mm Wide Aero Alloy Road Clincher Rim


The Kinlin XC-279 is a lightweight aerodynamic aluminum rim that can be built up as an everyday trainer or race day wheelset. The 27.9mm depth and 23mm width provides lateral stiffness, high-strength and durability.

The Kinlin XC 279 is basically a 23mm wide version of Kinlin’s highly popular and successful XR 270 rim. A 23mm rim widens the profile of your tyre for improved handling and  tubular like feel.

Superbly finished and excellent value, these Kinlin rims build into a very stiff and great looking semi-aero alloy wheel. If you are thinking of building yourself for the first time, these are a great rim for a first build, very easy to build with.

Kinlin rims are often rebadged and sold as own make on new bikes, you will see them everywhere if you look!
