new rim shape improves the impact resistance, enabling you to push a
little harder on the trails. It also enhances the pinch flat protection
for a trusty ride on rougher tracks. Build this rim with care and it
will reward you with resistance and lightness for a long-lasting bond.
Thanks to its 30mm inner wide rims, 350 thru axle hubs and high quality build based on Sapim Race spokes, it sprints out of the startgate and delivers right to the finish line.
High volume tires, tubeless compatibility and impressive stability are perfect for today's freeride, enduro or downhill courses.
