Description
Features
Alphas are our performance 29er wheelset for aggressive trail riding. Whether you're riding down Top Chief at Fort William or riding the black routes at Bike Park Wales, Alphas will consistently spin up to speed and keep rolling to help you ride with fluid precision over the trails.
Alpha hubs: wider, stiffer, tougher, faster
Alpha’s boost hub is wider than a standard hub; extra width between the flanges promotes a shallower spoke bracing angle to create a stronger, stiffer wheel. Oh, and the hubs sound amazing! Finally, sealed cartridge bearings just keep rolling and rolling.
Wider rims mean tyres work better
30mm tough aluminium rims make this wheelset ideal for rock gardens and technical terrain – you can run 2.2" - 2.6" tyres, which will plump up really nicely to give a broad contact patch for maximum traction and confidence.
Built to take abuse
Alphas have sealed bearings that are easily serviceable without the need for specialist tools. Double-butted spokes have been chosen to keep the wheels super-strong, whether you’re landing big drops or loading your bike with luggage. And a 17mm alloy axle make these hubs super-stiff and super-strong.
Key Features
- Wide rim increases the contact patch of your tyres giving more control on the trail
- Sealed cartridge bearings mean low maintenance and fast rolling
- Covered by our 28 Day Ride Guarantee
