Interbike 2008 - MTBR

Opium Wheels


Downhill race wheels weight at only 2062g per set. The extruded rim is 24mm wide (inside width) and welded. The inner edge of the rim is machined to half the level of the cobalt, leaving an i-beam ridge. This feature, combined with the 24mm width and beefed up hubs gives the wheelset extra durability for downhill use. There are no holes drilled through the rim making it naturally tubeless and increasing the strength and stiffness tremendously. There are 24 double butted (bladed) 2.0 "twinpair" spokes.
The pawl system uses 6 oversized pawls with alternating 3-pawl engagement, yielding 48 clicks per revolution for instant engagement (7.5 degree maximum free-run before engagement). Each wheel is hand-built in the USA.
Colors: Dark Red (Spring 09)
