MTB Rims

Q: What should I look for when choosing?

Inner Width For Dirt Jump tires (2.1" to 2.3"), an inner width of 25mm to 32mm is ideal. The wider the rim, the more stable the tire sits and won't fold in corners. Hole Count Must match the hub! Standard is 32 holes. If you plan maximum abuse (Street), go for 36 holes. Joint Welded: The strongest and lightest connection at the rim seam. Pinned: Cheaper, slightly heavier, but sufficient for beginners.

The rim takes the first hit with every failed trick. For Dirt Jump and Street, you need stable double-wall rims with a wide profile that hold the tire securely even at lower pressures. Discover our selection of welded and pinned rims from top brands.

What is a double-wall rim?

Simple rims consist of only one wall. Double-wall rims have a double floor. This box construction makes them many times more resistant to twisting and flat spots – a must for every jump.

What does "eyeleted" mean?

Eyeleted rims have steel rings in the spoke holes. They prevent the spoke nipples from pulling through the aluminum of the rim under high tension. A quality feature for durability.
