Wheels

After designing the CLX 50s, we realized that an affordable, race-worthy carbon wheelset was nowhere to be found—until the CL 50 was developed, that is. We paired our quiver-killing CLX 50 rim with DT Swiss Competition round spokes, our Aero Flange hubs with DT Swiss 350 internals, and steel bearings to deliver you an exceptional wheelset at a more than accessible price. Sharing rims with the CLX 50s, the CL 50s feature many of the benefits as their higher-end siblings. Even though the CL 50 is similar in weight to many wheels in the “lightweight” category, aerodynamics came at the forefront of the development. With this, we jumped headlong into Computational Fluid Dynamics computer modeling to arrive at various rim shapes that could make the CL 50 as fast and light as possible. It took a while, but we narrowed the rim shape down to three contenders that were then CNC machined into rims, built into wheels, and put into the Win Tunnel. In the tunnel, we tested every wheel, ours and the competition's, with a 24C tire (measuring 26C), as tires can drastically affect testing. We chose a modern-width tire to design our rims around, because they not only allow for less tire pressure (which results in more comfort and less rolling resistance) but are also just as aerodynamically efficient when paired with the correct rim width. Now it was time for final testing validation. The result? A 50mm-deep, 1465-gram clincher wheelset that's race-ready and wallet-friendly. - Rim Type: Carbon clincher, 2Bliss-Ready - Rim Material: Carbon - Braking Surface: Carbon Fiber - Brake Track Height: 12mm - Rim Depth: 50mm - Rim Width: 20.7mm internal, 29.4mm external - Front Spoke Pattern: Radial - Rear Spoke Pattern: Radial/Two-cross (2:1) - Spoke Count: 16 front, 21 rear - Spoke Type: DT Swiss Competition Race T-head - Nipple Type: DT Swiss Pro LockBrass hexagonal - Front Hub: Roval AF1, sealed cartridge bearings - Rear Hub: Roval AF1, sealed cartridge bearings, DT Swiss 350 internals, 11-speed - Assembly Method: Hand-built - Extras: Roval steel quick-releases, Roval tubeless plugs and valves, SwissStop Black Prince brake pads

Specialized's CLX 50 full-carbon clincher is the perfect all-around race wheel, proven by multiple grand tour wins.

A trail rim that ticks all the boxes. SPANK Industries’ OOZY Trail 295 Rim is one of the most versatile trail rims on the market. Though built for trail, the OOZY Trail 295 rim is tough enough to handle more aggressive applications ranging from All Mountain to Enduro. Sporting a 24.5mm inner width, the OOZY Trail 295 rim is compatible with a broad range of tire sizes and profiles making it a true do it all rim solution. SPANK’s proprietary, lightweight and rigid Dynamal alloy gives the OOZY Trail 295 rim unparalleled strength at a weight competitive with carbon. As the first SPANK rim to feature SPANK’s revolutionary Bead Bite anti-burp technology, the OOZY Trail 295 rim set the standard for effectively preventing tire burps and restricting excessive tire rollover even at low tire pressures.

Rainy days, wet soil, rocks and roots. The tubeless tires somehow find grip. The M 1700 SPLINE 25 comes stock with tubeless rim tape and valves, just the right tool for demanding trails. The wide rim gives the tire that decisive little bit more support while the Ratchet System freewheel ensures safe engagements even in the most averse conditions. Finally, being a lightweight helps you to quickly get back up to that trail entrance, to start the slip-and-grip fest all over again.

A modern wide-profile rim made from super tough alloy, classy anodized and machined SPLINE straight pull hubs, and the proven Ratchet System freewheel make for no excuses when riding cross country on the X 1700 SPLINE. But in return it leaves enough cash in the wallet to enter your next endurance race.

Fat bikes have opened the eyes to many riders regarding where and how bicycles can be ridden. The XM 1501 SPLINE 35 carries the genes of fat in a lightweight trail package. It is the perfect fit for 2.6-inch tires. Fit to a modern trail bike, it opens up unknown possibilities: That slippery off-camber root section all of a sudden is looking a lot less intimidating. With our industry leading material and manufacturing know-how DT made sure that this wheel, despite it's built-in rowdiness, comes to you in a lightweight and durable package, ready for many all-mountain adventures.

Nowadays, road riding is much more than riding on a road. Gravel, bad choppy roads, fenders, lights, disc brakes, and even racks have broadened our horizon. The ER 1400 SPLINE is your premium alloy choice if you continued reading after the word "rack". Coming with a 20mm wide, super-light and resilient rim, as well as a hub based on the classic 240s, it is just what you need when your rides lead into the unknown and there are still the occasional bragging rights to be defended.

Wheels are the first point of contact between you and your bike, and the trail you’re riding on. And while wheel sizes and standards continue to develop significantly year on year, often to both the rider and the industry’s dismay, very little innovation has been seen in the compliancy and responsiveness of the wheel as this first, most important contact and conductor. What Spank has seen in recent years is that bike suspension is continuously evolving and adapting to compensate for stiffer frames and more rigid, deeper profile carbon fiber rims. This overall stiffer rig is being softened, or counter-acted by both bike suspension, and tire design — not to mention the ever lower and lower tire pressures riders are running. Rider position (wider, lower, more forward) is also being impacted directly by the bike frame and cockpit geometries which is constantly aiming for a better riding feel. So surely it is overdue time to re-examine how the engineering of the wheel can become an active contributor to the efficiency of the overall set up. Spank Industries has done just this. - Low sectional profile height and wide width, adds radial compliance, while keeping high lateral stiffness. - 30mm internal width extremely versatile, fitting tires from 2.0” to 2.6” perfectly, and even allowing + size tire use, without negative squaring off of tire profiles. - Ideal for Trail/AM/Enduro bikes looking for a wide profile, without the weight penalty

Fast climbs and fast descents, from sun up until sundown, are the norm on SRAM's Roam 50 Wheels. They boast a dedicated balance of low-weight, strength, and width to excel on a wide variety of XC and trail-bike terrain. The 25mm wide rims give big tires the support they deserve for outstanding cornering control, and the rims are durable enough for day-after-day sessions, yet light enough for race day. Ditch the tubes with full UST tubeless compatibility, and reap the rewards of excellent traction, control, and fewer flats. And, the Roams' great features continue with their Solo Spoke design that uses one spoke length to fit the entire wheel and quick-release skewer and 15mm thru-axle end caps that can be interchanged without tools. You also have the option of SRAM's Predictive Steering hub for use with the RockShox RS-1 fork.

The Discus Plus is the world’s first wheel range specifically designed for wider tires on all-road/gravel bikes. The advantages are obvious: more grip, more comfort, almost unflattable (is that a word?) so you are practically unstoppable. Wide tires need a wide rim to prevent excessive lateral tire roll and improve cornering, so the Discus Plus Pro has a 24mm inner width (with full hooks), perfectly supporting both MTB and 650B tires. The Discus Plus build is similar to Discus, utilizing the 3T linear+ system. Asymmetric rim drilling reduces the difference in spoke tension between the drive side and non-drive side. And the hubs have light alloy oversize spindles with modular end-caps that can be easily swapped from quick-release to thru-axle as needed; rear width can run 135 mm or 142 mm.

Just wide enough, just light enough. At 30mm internal rim width the M 1700 SPLINE 30 works for tires ranging from slightly wide to quite wide, allowing it to attack the hardest terrain. But with a high-end build, butted spokes, patented alloy Pro Lock nipples and the benchmark Ratchet System hubs, it still comes in at a low weight. Low weight means it's very reactive to rider input. Reactive means fun, and fun is why we are all doing this, right?
