R2BIKE wheelset 27.5" TR AM EN | DT Swiss 240 MTB 6-hole hubs | Race Face aluminum rims
Range of use: Trail TR, All Mountain AM to Enduro EN
With this wheelset you can really let it rip downhill. The indestructible DT Swiss hubs and the superbly crafted Race Face rims are forgiving of the occasional riding error. The well-balanced selection of components guarantees you a high level of reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
Lighter, stiffer, more precise and easier to maintain - these are the strengths of the new DT Swiss 240 hubs. These properties have been achieved thanks to the modern ratchet technologies. Not only do the hubs use fewer components and therefore weigh less and wear less, they also allow the bearing to be positioned much further out on the drive side. The greater distance between the bearings results in greater hub rigidity, lower bearing loads and therefore greater durability. The stiffness on the hub body serves to distribute the load more evenly on the spokes. Drive and braking forces are transmitted even better from both spoke flanges to all spokes. One-sided load peaks are prevented, which protects the hub, spokes and rim. The highly reliable toothed disk freewheel systems ensure extremely direct and reliable power transmission.
Rims
The ARC rim has become one of the favorite rims of wheel builders from all over the world. The new offset versions allow even stiffer and more durable wheels to be built. This is achieved by a more balanced spoke tension between the drive side and non-drive side.
A specially shaped rim bed with a central recess and minimalist, short hooks on the rim flange holds the tire securely on the rim in every situation, even at low air pressures. The larger contact area of the tire also significantly improves grip.
The rim is made of forged 6069 aluminum, the joint is plugged and additionally glued to increase durability and reduce weight. The black anodized finish saves weight and gives the rims a subtle look with their vinyl decals. Of course, the rims can be converted for tubeless use.
Wheel construction at R2-Bike
Our wheels are assembled entirely by hand by our wheel builders. During the entire assembly process, great importance is attached to ensuring that not only the concentricity is correct, but also that the spoke tension is as even as possible. This special care allows us to give the first owner a lifetime guarantee against spoke breakage, as long as it was not caused by force.
The following services are also included for first-time buyers:
You get a universal wheel bag for all common sizes included.
You will receive a spare spoke with nipple in all required spoke lengths so that you can repair the wheel quickly after an accident.
Within 2 years of purchase, you will receive a free initial inspection of the wheel, during which the resulting work is completely free of charge. Only shipping costs are incurred.
You get a crash replacement promise: If your wheel is damaged due to force majeure within 2 years of purchase, we will rebuild it once. We grant a 100% discount on all labor costs and only charge for the material.
