PORTE rim 29" Rathe 30,6 28-hole UD-Carbon 250g
New name, same passion: the still young Berg brand becomes PORTE. The founders started the brand with a simple mission. They wanted to develop the best possible lightweight products for ambitious MTB marathon and cross-country riders at an affordable price. In order to be equipped for tough racing conditions, no compromises were made in terms of durability when developing the PORTE components. Behind the brand is a small team of dedicated mountain bikers, engineers and bike mechanics from Belgium.
With the Rathe 30.6 rim weighing 270 grams, the Belgians have already broken all records. Now PORTE is following up with a 250 gram lightweight version. The weight reduction of 20 grams was achieved by reducing the rim flange diameter by 0.3 millimeters, among other things. As a positive side effect, this also increases the inner rim width to 30.6 millimetres and gives modern cross-country tires a better shape and a more stable fit at low air pressures. This effect is further enhanced by the low height of the rim flanges, which give the tires even more volume compared to other rims with the same inner width. A reinforced rim base and the asymmetrical cross-section, which allows the spoke tensions on both sides to be equalized, provide the necessary rigidity in the wheel. All these measures enable PORTE to approve the rim for riders weighing up to 90 kg. The Rathe 30.6 rims have already proven their stability in 2 independent test bench tests and also in racing.
In order to guarantee the safety of their components, all BERG components have undergone extensive tests according to ISO standards in Germany, in addition to intensive off-road riding. These tests are also repeated regularly for different product batches during the manufacturing process.
In addition to the 2-year warranty, PORTE offers a 3-year crash replacement with a 40% discount on all components.
