In recent years, the MTB sector has undergone several transformations, aimed at improving the way all riders ride their bikes. The evolution has certainly affected every aspect of the bike, from frames to clothing, although the most evident has occurred in the wheels with the transition from a diameter of 26 inches to 27.5 and 29. A change that has literally changed the bike market. In addition to the diameter, the shape and width of the wheel channels have also undergone important changes.
The main cause of carbon rim failure is a strong impact. The design of our new carbon rims features a solid straight shoulder instead of the classic inverted “J” shoulder, this being the main point of rim failure, thus promoting greater resistance to stress.

THE Hookless rims They avoid this step by reinforcing the shoulder and thus offering greater impact resistance without reducing the retention capacity of the rubber; these advantages have convinced us to adopt this solution on our best wheels, both in carbon and aluminum.

The differences between Hookless rims and standard rims
