Whilst designing our premium XC wheelset, we had a few simple, yet fundamental goals. Being a wheel designed for both competition and endurance, we wanted to keep weight to an absolute minimum without compromising on durability. Using a carbon fibre and graphene composite, we were able to design a wheelset that weighs in at a mere 1308g. Furthermore, our XC32 wheelset has been tested to 120% of ISO4210 requirements, meaning our procedures far exceed industry standards.
It’s no secret that XC racing is getting more and more technical. This in due course means that riders are often opting for wider tyres. Our other priority was ensuring we could produce a rim wide enough to provide control on the technical parts whilst still being lightweight for the climbs. Our XC32 wheelset has a 32mm external width with a 27mm internal width.
Serviceability was also incredibly important for us. We opted for a 6-pawl freehub which can be removed by hand. So, not only are the hubs extremely responsive, they are also easy to service, clean and regrease. We also opted for high quality, Japanese steel bearings for reliability and durability.
