R2BIKE wheelset 27.5" TR AM | Tune MTB 6-hole hubs | Race Face aluminum rims
Range of use: Trail TR, All Mountain AM
With this wheelset you can really let it rip downhill. The indestructible Tune 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
The Micro hub set is the ideal introduction to the world of lightweight MTB hubs from Tune. As you would expect from Tune, the new Micro Boost hubs are CNC-milled from 7075 aluminum. The special feature of the front hub is a new hub flange that does not require a carbon ring. The symmetrical design ensures optimum balance of the front wheel. The POEtry138 freehub mechanism keeps play to a minimum when starting off, so that direct power transmission is possible. The J-bend flanges make the hubs particularly stable yet lightweight.
Like all Tune hubs, the Micro Boost is produced, milled and assembled entirely in the Black Forest.
Rims
The ARC rim has become one of the favorite rims of wheel builders from all over the world. With the new offset versions, even stiffer and more durable wheels can 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 within 2 years of purchase due to force majeure, we will rebuild it once. We grant a 100% discount on all labor costs and only charge for the material.
