Product details

Tuned front and rear carbon wheel system for enduro riding and racing. Specific front and rear wheels optimized for the unique performance requirements and stresses of mountain biking. A compliant, tuned front wheel enhances handling and maximizes grip and control in corners. A wider inner rim width supports a broader tire profile in the front, increasing volume and contact area while rounding off the tire profile to improve cornering behavior. The stiff, tuned rear wheel supports peak loads and enhances stability and tracking at speed. A narrower inner rim width supports a slimmer tire profile in the rear, reduces rolling resistance, and sharpens the tire edge for better grip.

Ranking 13 out of 15MountainBIKETEST|LAUFRAD-FAQReleaseSeptember 2026

The US manufacturer's E-MTB-specific carbon wheels come with special front and rear rims as well as 28 and 32 spokes respectively. Sturdily built and with a sparse scope of delivery, the stiffness test bench reveals a rather softer orientation. The factory build is still okay.
