BIKE AHEAD COMPOSITES rear wheel 27.5" Biturbo XE
The Würzburg carbon manufacturer has taken on the topic of electrically assisted mountain bikes, which is becoming more and more present, and has directly introduced a complete product range.
The Biturbo XE is a further development of the Franconian flagship biturboRS. With the 6-spoke design typical of BIKE AHEAD, an inner width of 35 mm and a modified layout, it is prepared for the higher system weight and the increased driving dynamics typical of e-bikes. With these properties, the Biturbo XE is also ideal for non-motorized bikes with plus tires in all-mountain and trail use. Thanks to the hookless rim bed and a weight limit of up to 150 kg (rider + luggage), it can easily cope with blocked trail sections.
Carbon in perfection
Years of development work in Germany combined with high-quality carbon fibers and selected manufacturing processes enable a top-class product. At BIKE AHEAD COMPOSITES, the production takes place exclusively in-house in Germany, thus guaranteeing the highest quality. The impeller not only convinces with its low weight, because special attention was also paid to resistance to punctures during development. The unique monocoque construction enables a wheel construction that is unparalleled in terms of stiffness. The targeted reinforcement and adjustment in the laminate structure creates the basis for withstanding the higher loads resulting from the e-bike-specific driving dynamics - light, resistant and durable.
