MSRP : $899.00


Product Description

The optimal wheels for your Truth, Epiphany or other XC ride, Ellsworth's XC wheels feature 24 spokes with special 2 cross lacing and Ellsworth's patented Quad Butted Spokes. Our spoke design minimizes windup from breaking and pedaling with the least amount of spoke mass. Compatible with the standard QR and the new 15mm QR, these are the only wheels you'll need for XC riding or racing. The XC rims are Ellsworth's proprietary, 29mm wide, tapered wall rim that is extruded from xxx9 Aluminum.
