Product Description

Carbon 29 inch bicycle rims 35mm wide clincher tubeless mountain bike rims

Increased width

The lighter weight material allows for wide rims that are still lighter than much narrower alloy rims. This flattens the tread of the tyre to give more grip and the same tyre contains more air at any given pressure which means you can confidently run at lower pressures giving you even more grip and a smoother ride.

Speed and Handling advantages from increase in stiffness

Carbon rims are much stiffer in both vertical and lateral directions. When you ride on carbon rims and your bike feels faster, you are feeling the benefits of your wheels staying completely circular as they impact on rocks and stumps or increased pressure is applied through the rim through jumps and landings.

Vibration absorption

Carbon is naturally much more vibration absorbing than alloy and allows manufacturers to tailor the behaviour of the rims by varying materials and lay-up techniques. In mountain biking all impacts start at the tyres, and then take a route through rims, spokes, hubs, forks / frame…. eventually reaching the rider through the bars and pedals. With a carbon rim, much more of this impact / vibration energy is absorbed by the rim before it can be passed up the spokes towards the rider. This is extremely noticeable with a smoother ride and your same bike will become instantly much quieter.
