The e*thirteen "Sylvan Race Carbon All Mountain" MTB Rim - 29" is e*thirteen's first-ever asymmetric rim in carbon: it gives the bike a light and dynamic feel and still has your back when the trail gets rowdy – for aggressive trail bikes and all-mountain machines. 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 on both 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, with the lifetime carbon rim warranty. Previous generation to the Flux rims, no longer listed by e*thirteen.

Carbon rim notice
On carbon rims, single layers of the laminate can crack, usually from hard landings or overloading. Such damage from use is not a defect: it is covered neither by the statutory warranty nor by any manufacturer's warranty. A rim with cracked layers should be checked before it is ridden again.
Our recommendation: carbon rims are best suited to experienced, professional use. Front wheel rather than rear, and park, dirt or race rather than street. Land clean and you keep the weight advantage for longer. Worth being aware of.
