CARBON-TI wheelset 28" X-Wheel World Runner 38 SLR2
With the help of the X-Wheel wheelset, your buddies will only see you from behind. Due to the low weight you can accelerate quickly and it is stable and comfortable enough to easily cope with longer jogging tracks.
The X-Hub SP hubs from Carbon-Ti rotate in the center. Their elaborately CNC-milled housing moves around a multi-butted aluminum axle with a diameter of 17 mm. This generates an extraordinarily high level of rigidity and steering movements are passed on directly. The high-quality, double-sealed industrial ball bearings from SKF ensure permanently smooth running. To extend the service life, the axle play can be easily adjusted via the pre-load adjustment ring.
On the rear wheel hub, the freewheel grips four pawls, each with three teeth, in a 56-tooth titanium ring. This means that it will easily withstand performance-oriented drivers.
With the World Runner Carbon SLR rim, the French from Duke have made another big hit. It is lighter and yet more resilient than the previous model. In addition, the high flank ensures above-average aerodynamics and lets you make decent speed on flat sections.
The lower weight is achieved through an optimized use of materials. Areas subject to particularly heavy loads were reinforced, while uncritical ones were cut. In addition, the amount of resin used has been further reduced without sacrificing stability.
Thanks to the SLS2 production technology developed by Duke, post-processing or painting of the rims is no longer necessary in the production process. This alone can save up to 10% in weight and achieve a very high surface quality. The use of high-modulus carbon fibers also improves the inherent damping, which benefits increased driving comfort.
The rim is definitely the class leader when it comes to resilience. With a maximum of 135 kg, you can take a little more luggage with you.
The connection between rims and hubs is taken over by Sapim CX-Ray straightpull spokes. In addition to their low weight, these have exceptional resilience and flexibility. This also results in the large intended use . It doesn't matter whether you are a racing cyclist or a mountain biker, everyone benefits from these positive characteristics. In addition, the flattened center section ensures excellent aerodynamics. The high material quality enables the construction of stable wheels and guarantees a long service life.
In addition, the omission of the heavily stressed spoke arch eliminates a potential break point and thus further minimizes the susceptibility to punctures.
You have the option of choosing between different sticker colors for optimal visual adaptation to your bike. Whether subtle or eye-catching, you will find your individual favorite decor.
A notice:
Only use Center Lock rings for 15/20 mm thru axles with external teeth to mount the brake disc. Otherwise it is not possible to position the tool correctly because of the pre-load ring.
