The Rim:
  • The aluminum MTB rims have an ultra low, milled profile to keep the lowest peripheral weight possible, making the wheel extremely reactive. This specific shape also provides excellent impact resistance.
  • Asymmetric: the rim shape has been studied to improve the tensions, balancing the forces coming from the brakes and cassette.
  • Tubeless ready: over the time tubeless has been established as the preferred solution for the high-end wheels, as it ensures better handling and protection against punctures.
  • Red Passion is ready for the transformation: thanks to a special contoured and reinforced rim profile that adheres more easily to the tire, while fitting is easy and safe.

Hubs:
  • The carbon hub and aluminum flange are features of a project that focuses on excellence in material choice as well as in performance.
  • The new hub system allows the switch from one standard to another, through axle or XD, simply by changing adapters.
  • These MTB wheels are easily adapted and fitted to all frame standards ready for the next ride!
  • The freehub body will be submitted to Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation treatment in the laboratory.
  • Despite the thickness of the material being reduced to the minimum, the duration and strength are maintained with the benefit of a lower weight.

Bearings:
  • Cup and cone bearings system: extremely easy ball-bearing adjustment.
  • Reduction of ball-bearing play, increased smoothness, reduction of weight and greater efficiency over time.

Spokes and Nipples:
  • Aluminum nipples: make it possible to reduce the peripheral mass of the mtb wheels to the minimum, thus increasing its reactivity.
  • Stainless steel spokes.
Please Note: Axle adapters for rear wheel are not supplied.
