Description
The best performing and responsive tubeless clincher of the 29? range.

The secret of its performance is encapsulated in the skilful mix of the milled and lightened rim, the oversize rim, the straight head aluminium spokes with the exclusive Fulcrum? 2:1 Two-to-One? spoking solution that make this wheel, despite its wider diameter, the wheel of reference for those who don't use the 29" just for a ride, but aim straight for the podium.

Offered in both the QR or 15mm thru axle version.

Pros: Fairly light, stiff, durable, smooth bearings, hole-less rim bed, lots of extra parts and pieces included with the wheels

Cons: Proprietary spokes, UST design may not work well with non-tubeless tires, lighter custom wheels can be built for less cost. 240lb rider weight limit.

Recommendation: For an out-of-the-box wheelset these are good. Plenty durable, work well with Specialized 2Bliss Ready tires. Very stiff, and spin up nicely. Changing front hub axle type is super easy.
