R2BIKE Wheelset 29" XC | Porte MTB Straightpull 6-hole hubs | Duke Carbon rims
Application: Cross Country XC
XC racers always want to win and are therefore looking for lightweight yet stable wheels. The combination of Duke carbon rims and Porte hubs should therefore always be on your shortlist. The balanced selection of components guarantees you high reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
With a total weight of less than 300 grams, the PORTE Ixion hubs are the perfect starting point for an ultra-light XC wheelset. Visually, the aluminum hubs impress with their elegant straight-pull design and white laser-engraved PORTE logo. The inner values of the hubs are also impressive. The SKF bearings used ensure long durability and low frictional resistance. The SL version uses smaller and therefore lighter bearings to save a few more grams of weight. A toothed pulley freewheel with 45 indexing points per wheel revolution guarantees instantaneous acceleration and fast response in technically demanding passages. PORTE installs 6 toothed disk springs for even power transmission. If the hubs need servicing, they can be dismantled in just a few steps without the need for special tools.
To guarantee the safety of their components, all PORTE components have undergone extensive tests in Germany in accordance with ISO standards, in addition to intensive test rides. In order to guarantee the high quality standards in the long term, the tests are repeated for different product batches.
Rims
The carbon rims from Duke in France stand for low weight and excellent workmanship. The hookless design is ideal for use with tubeless systems. The reinforced bead means that any punctures can be better absorbed without causing damage. The fairly flat and wide rims reliably support the tire in any situation, so you won't have a spongy ride even with low air pressure.
The asymmetrical shape enables a more even spoke tension, which further increases the stiffness of the entire wheel.
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 offer a lifetime guarantee against spoke breakage as long as it is not caused by force.
The following services are also included:
You will receive a universal wheel bag for all common sizes.
You will receive a replacement spoke with nipple in all required spoke lengths so that you can repair the wheel quickly after an accident.
You will receive a free initial inspection of the wheel, where 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, we will rebuild it once. We grant a 100% discount on all labor costs and only charge for the materials.
