e*thirteen "Sylvan Race Alloy All Mountain" MTB Rim - 29"

The e*thirteen "Sylvan Race Alloy All Mountain" MTB Rim - 29" is e*thirteen's first-ever asymmetric rim: it gives the bike a light and dynamic feel and still has your back when the trail gets rowdy – the match for aggressive trail bikes or all-mountain machines catering to both daily trail rides and the occasional adrenaline-fuelled descent. The asymmetric 30 mm inside-width profile with a low rim height increases compliance, absorbs impacts, reduces fatigue and improves traction; the asymmetry results in near-equal spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides, for a stronger wheel and more consistent ride characteristics. The valve dock interface ensures a good seal point for tubeless valves. Tubeless compatible with a hookless bead, best for tyres from 2.3 to 2.6" according to the manufacturer. Previous generation to the Flux rims, no longer listed by e*thirteen.
