This wheelset is perfect for trail riding as well as for XC/marathon riders who want the benefits of wide rims. The completely rounded external rim profile is extremely lightweight and hard-wearing against deformation, whilst the flared flanges make it particularly dent-resistant compared with ordinary rims and keep the tyre rounder for more cornering grip. The NEWMEN FADE rear hub makes for a more immersive experience on the trail due to its quiet freewheel system and combined with 28 Sapim D-light spokes per wheel, the result is an ultra-light yet strong wheelset that's perfect for trail riding.
