Smoother is Faster
21% more vertically compliant than the previous model — shallow rim shape and front/rear-specific layup enable enhanced terrain-hugging and bump-force-absorbing control.
Industry Nine 1/1 Hub — 4° Engagement
90 points of engagement via 6-pawl driver and 45-tooth drivering. Immediate power transfer from pedals to drivetrain — perfect for ratcheting through techy sections.
Flat Top Bead — 85% More Pinch-Flat Resistant
