DUKE rim 28" Baccara WRX 36 SLR2 UD-Carbon Gravel asymmetric
Can it be a little wider? With an inner width of 28 millimetres, the Duke WRX 36 rim offers you the option of riding wide gravel tires with extremely low air pressures without the tire becoming unstable in fast corners. This provides you with excellent damping on rough gravel and trails and thus ensures more comfort and less fatigue on long distances. With an outer width of 34.1 mm and a tread height of 36 mm, the rim profile of the WRX 36 also contributes to shock absorption.
The hook profile of the rims ensures a secure fit of the tire. The lower weight is achieved by optimizing the use of materials, with particularly stressed areas being reinforced and uncritical areas being spared. In addition, the amount of resin used has been further reduced without sacrificing stability.
Thanks to the SLR2 production technology developed by Duke, it is no longer necessary to rework or paint the rims during the production process. This alone can save up to 10% in weight and achieve a very high surface quality. The use of highly modular carbon fibers also improves the inherent damping, which is particularly beneficial for riding comfort.
The rims definitely lead the class in terms of load capacity. Despite the flat shape, with a maximum system weight of 125 kg, a little more luggage can be carried.
The rims have an asymmetrical rim profile, which enables a more even spoke angle. This optimization of the spoke angle has a number of advantages. The spoke tension on both sides can be better aligned, which is beneficial to the durability of the spokes and the wheel as a whole. The normally direction-dependent lateral stiffness is also adjusted, making the wheel more stable.
3-year warranty and lifetime crash replacement on UD carbon rims
Duke selects the materials used very carefully in order to offer you the best possible product. Therefore, the quality standards for all products, subcontractors and partners are very strict. Duke guarantees for a period of two years that the rims offered have no hidden defects. However, improper installation or use of the products will invalidate the warranty.
In the event of accidents or heavy falls, violent impacts can damage the rim and make it impossible to use. Duke therefore offers a lifetime crash replacement for its UD carbon rims. In exchange, you will receive a 50% discount on the rim you have purchased.
