GRAVEL / XC
PURPOSE
With the resurgence of XC and the explosion of gravel, we had the vision to develop a rim that would offer maximum comfort and deliver confidence for the rider who chooses the lightweight hardtail over a dually. The layup has been completely redesigned and offers high strength with the lowest radial stiffness possible. Pair this with our industry-leading out-of-mould tolerances, and you can bring on the long days in style!
TIRES
The tires we recommend are 38c and up for gravel. For XC 2.1 - 2.35 tires would be ideal.

TRAIL
PURPOSE
Trail bikes with under 140mm of travel are fun weapons of choice. When it comes to wheels pairing a bike with the right tool for the job is paramount. Dressing the bike with too wide of a rim does not fit the bill for these bikes. These trail bikes need a good selection of rubber, but also need to maintain their playful nature, and this is our answer. Bring on the 27mm internal width of The Faction. A rim that punches well above its weight in overall strength, but rolls as you'd want on a trail bike. Lightweight and surprisingly strong!
TIRES
The tires we recommend are a range from 2.1 - 2.5

ENDURO / ALL MOUNTAIN
PURPOSE
There were 3 main points that went into The Union. We wanted a rim that was lighter than The Agent, had lower radial stiffness than anything we'd made before, and gain a dramatic increase in impact resistance. With our new philosophy on layup design and these key points, we were able to achieve something truly impressive. This rim is made for those who want to race Enduro at a high level and ride harder than ever before. If you have ever had doubts about carbon rims, look no further than The Union.
