In a category like XC every gram counts. Designing our own hubs and rims to work together means we can create stronger, lighter designs.
SAVING WATTS
Watts matter in racing, and you need an excellent power transfer from the rider to the wheel to make them count. On a wheel, locating the spoke heads close to the axis of rotation improves power transmission and minimizes mechanical losses.
T-SHAPED SPOKE HEADS
Creating our own hubs allows us to implement new technologies, such as T-shaped spoke heads. This prevents spokes from twisting and loosening, resulting in a more reliable wheel.
