Bicycle Wheel Warehouse is introducing four new tubeless ready MTB rims, the XC Pro, Trail Pro, and Enduro Pro, and AM Pro. Respective to each rim's type, these rims are wider, lighter, and stronger than a lot of other disc options in the marketplace. They achieve this trifecta of awesomeness via their modern, purposeful design, and utilization of quality aluminum alloy. A simple formula that works well.
All four options offer wide, tubeless ready inner rim profiles, and come with tape & valves installed.
More about the Trail Pro.
The Bicycle Wheel Warehouse Trail Pro rim offers a strong, light weight 23mm tubeless ready inner profile, at an incredible value. The outer rim width is 28mm, rim height is a solid 18mm. While certainly not the lightest 23mm inner aluminum alloy rim in the world, the Trail Pro's rim height to width ratio, overall design and extrusion wall thickness, all combine to make for a laterally stiff wheel build. These wheels are solid performers, and you'll definitely appreciate the fact that they don't flex like some other lighter weight rims/ wheel sets do.
You have the choice to build these wheels with Speed Tuned Super 6 2.0 MTB hubs, or go all out with DT Swiss 350 disc hubs featuring the DT Swiss Star Ratchet engagment mechanism. Both are great options. The Speed Tuned Super 6 2.0 hubs feature 36 points of engagement, (10 degrees) via a 4x2 pawl free hub. The drive ring and pawls are overbuilt in terms of diameter, (drive ring), height, (drive ring + pawls), and materials, (quality stainless). Their bearing placement is proper, in terms of overall design meant to promote hub function and durability.
DT Swiss 350 hubs are excellent, they are finished to incredible standards, and include DT Swiss' Star Ratchet engagement system, (same exact drive mechanism as with their DT 240's and 180's). These hubs get the job done, hold up extremely well in an assortment of conditions, and have proven reliable even in the emerging context of high torque drive trains, (29er wheel bikes with 1x12 Eagle drive trains). Essentially, DT 350's offer you the option of buying one of the best performing hubs available anywhere, for only a modest price bump. Given their huge value proposition, they are hands down a great option for any MTB rider that cares about their gear.
In "stock" form, these wheels are built with DT Swiss Competition Double Butted 2.0/1.8/2.0 black spokes in a 32 hole, three cross configuration front and rear. DT Comp spokes offer legendary quality and performance. If you didn't know a thing about spokes, know that your wheels would come with a really top notch spoke product. That being said, we're offering a spoke upgrade option, in the form of Sapim DLight 2.0/1.65/2.0 spokes. There are two great spoke manufacturers in the world, DT Swiss and Sapim, (in alphabetical order). Essentially, you might be able to find a spoke product that approaches their quality, but you'd be hard pressed to find a company that makes a better spoke product than these two. All their spoke products, from straight gauge to their elliptically bladed and butted products, are all the best of the best. Sapim Dlight spokes will perform at the same relative level as DT Competition spokes, but will shave off approximately 75 - 80g from the wheel set.
