The massive 35mm outer width of this rim allows you to run wider tyres for impressive uphill traction and downhill control. Plus, the BeadBite anti-burp hooks grip each tyre to the rim for a secure, uniform performance. Technologies: Vibrocore: Vibrocore technology is injected into Spank Vibrocore products and dramatically reduces vibrations that can lead to hand and arm numbness, fatigue and arm-pump. This additional technology also increases overall stiffness and fatigue life of the product. Vibrocore is one of the biggest innovations in Rim technology as it increases the radial compliancy, lateral stiffness and torsional strength while also damping vibrations from the trail. OohBah: The unique OohBah profile allows Spank to manufacture thinner-walled, wider-profiled, lighter rims without sacrificing strength or rigidity. Wider rims mean stiffer wheels and more tire spread, leading to greater traction and improved comfort, and tire performance. The ""wave"" shape of the OohBah inner tube adds strength and support to the vertical rim flange walls and prevent buckling. Normal straight or curved tube wells must be much thicker, and by default heavier, to offer the same support. BeadBite: At an incredible range of pressures, BeadBite is the solution to keeping your tires burp free and fixed in place. BeadBite rim technology enhances tubeless use with tires of all types and with a greater range of air pressures. BeadBite rims have 6 rows of tiny ridges that run along the vertical and horizontal faces of the bead seats. These tiny teeth create air seals between the rim and tire as the bead conforms into them under air pressure. They dramatically increase frictional forces on the tire bead, reducing the beads' ability to move vertically or horizontally (thus improving tire stability and reducing burps). The bead literally becomes trapped between the vertical and horizontal ridges, even at very low air pressures. Even in tubed applications, BeadBite rims tend to allow much lower air pressures with reduced risk of pinch flats.
Thanks to the precise workmanship from DT Swiss, this rim is the perfect companion for general Trail riding, capable of sessioning all day long. As this is the asymmetric version, it will lace up perfectly with your hubs should they have an asymmetric flange design.

The DT Swiss EX 511 MTB rim benefits from technologies that have resulted in multiple racing victories at the Enduro World Series. Ready to ride burlier and faster over the most challenging trails on the planet, this 30mm wide rim is the perfect choice for your enduro bike’s custom wheel build. Technologies: Tubeless Technology: Tubeless tyres have several advantages over the conventional combination of tube and tyre. The tyre can run with lower pressures providing better grip without risking snakebites. The lower pressure also results in a more comfortable ride. Eliminating the tube means there is no friction between tube and tyre and therefore less rolling resistance when the tyre rolls over the ground and obstacles. If tubeless milk is used, the tyre can self-seal stings and small cuts. A big advantage for all those who like to ride for long and far away from the nearest bike shop.
Using an I-Beam construction to increase its strength, the WTB KOM Tough i25 model keeps super stiff and responsive and is the perfect starting point if you want to build a gravity or enduro wheel that can withstand lots of punishment. WTBs lightest alloy rims, the KOM Light family combines high-end performance and proven tubeless dependability to create an affordable rim attainable by all. The WTB KOM Tough i25 rim employs an open cavity design to make it sprightly enough for 200 miles of gravel, while strong 6069 aluminium alloy also makes it resilient enough to endure daily hammering on your trail bike. Choose KOM Light when you're looking for high-end performance at a low-key price. WTB's unique Solid Strip integration also ensures it will be the easiest to mount and most reliable tubeless rim you've ever owned. KOM Tough has been proven on the toughest tracks of the Enduro World Series, depended on for daily trail rides, and trusted while bikepacking in remote regions of the world. Additional Features: Dual I-Beam construction increases strength and stiffness Extruded from AL 6069 for durability and reasonable weight Updated spoke bed provides a more congruent interface between nipple and rim TCS 2.0 rims deliver WTB's easiest to mount and most reliable tubeless system WTB Solid Strip is included with the rim and provides a smooth surface between tyre and rim. It also prevents a broken spoke from puncturing the tubeless system and losing air TCS tape is also required for tubeless setup (sold separetely) Technologies: Universal Standard Tubeless (UST) Ready: The UST concept improves traction, control and comfort while reducing inertia and flats. TCS 2.0 Technology: This refined version of the “Tubeless Compatible System” offers the same high performance, lightweight mountain bike rim structure, but is now easier to install and more dependable. Dual I-Beam Support: Two vertical supports within the inner cavity drastically increase the strength and lateral stiffness of our KOM Tough rims. These additional reinforcements counteract spoke loads, which improves stiffness and minimizes deflection in rocky, unpredictable terrain. 4D Angled Spoke Holes: Drilling spoke holes at an angle eliminates binding and lateral loading of the spoke and nipple interface. It also allows spoke tension to be more evenly dispersed on the nipple rather than loading one side more than the other. Allowing the spoke to depart the rim at a natural angle increases the long-term durability of both the spoke and nipple.
The first signature shoe from technical phenomenon Shane O'Neill, the Nike SB Shane T is a lightweight shoe that's built to perform. Unique lacing lets you choose between lacing your shoes the traditional way or by running them through durable ghillie loops. ###shogun-image-section###
Lightweight and tubeless ready with a 40mm width, this rim is perfect for mountain bikers looking for an advantage against rolling resistance uphill as well as sturdiness for added control on the downhill.
The Duroc 30 sports a no-nonsense aluminium-welded rim that ensures durability while also being lightweight enough to allow you to easily build speed on the climb. Additionally, a 30mm wide rim means increased traction, affording your bike the tools to combat rolling resistance and making for smoother ride quality.
This MTB rim is made from a special blend of alloys, which give it a similar hardness to 7-series alloy but with the ductility and yield properties of a 6-series. This means that you will enjoy the best of both worlds as you carve your way around the mountain. Nukeproof has also equipped this model with a micro-shotpeened and anodised finish, which gives it an extra layer of resistance against wear and corrosion. As a result, you'll benefit from being able to shred the trails in all weather conditions, without worrying about the elements ruining your gear. Nukeproof has ensured that their front and rear rim profiles are the same but due to the rear rim being more likely to take most of the hits, they have used a thicker sidewall for added strength. The front rim has a thinner sidewall, which allows for excellent weight savings and a perfect balance between strength and weight. If you want some extra security, or if you want to save some more weight, there is no problem using a pair of front or rear rims. Nukeproof use a sleeved rim as this allows them to have full control over the properties of the alloy. When you weld a rim it is exposed to a large amount of heat which changes the properties of the alloy in the area around the weld. This change can lead to a weak spot in the rim. Nukeproof's tolerances are so precise, they can ensure that the alloy properties are the same throughout the whole rim.

The two models share the same lightness, reduced to around 615 grams (plus or minus 15 grams) using the G609 aluminium alloy which is also 30 percent stronger than the 6061 aluminium alloy used in standard rim manufacture. SL42 features a machined side wall for use with rim brakes.
