FEATURES

NEW GROOVED GRAPHENE BRAKING SURFACE

We are extremely pleased and excited to feature our new Grooved Graphene Braking Surface. Our new resin system and construction method, combined with the 3k rim track, withstands over 280°C, dissipates heat, and lowers rim temperatures faster in between braking efforts. Gain confidence-inspiring brake performance on the steepest descents and wettest conditions with our matching brake pads. The grooved track helps evacuate trapped moisture between pad and rim in wet conditions, and brings more resistance and force at the lever when conditions are dry. Note - tires may set up wider than their published width. 

ROL ULTRALIGHT HUBS

Not only have we upgraded our rims, we have updated our hub sets to support new and old drive trains. Our hubs are available with all modern drivetrains. Our freehubs now have an Anti-Bite system to prevent the cassette from digging into the body of the freehub. The hubs are one of the strongest and lightest hubs on the market.

We use premium J-Bend Stainless Spokes and Brass Nipples for durability.
