WHEELSET OVERVIEW
Replace with embedded video
LIGHT, DURABLE, AFFORDABLE - YOU CAN HAVE ALL THREE
The Foundation line is built on the same principles as our premium M Series wheels, and this wheelset is no exception. A simplified laminate allows us to deliver carbon wheelset performance without compromising the ride quality and durability you expect. Whether on a pure race bike or a downcountry rig, this wheelset delivers best-in-class performance.
TRICKLE DOWN TECHNOLOGY FROM PREMIUM WHEELS
Optimized around a 2.4" tire, this wheelset borrows shaping cues from our flagship series to strike the ideal balance of compliance and control. The result is a wheel that tracks confidently through rugged sections while maintaining the efficiency and responsiveness riders demand.
WIDE HOOKLESS BEAD AND MOLDED SPOKE HOLES
POT-HOLE AND IMPACT PROTECTION: Potholes and unforeseen impacts are part of life, but that doesn’t mean they need to ruin your ride. A patent-pending Wide Hookless Bead at the leading edge of the rim dissipates impact energy and reduces the likelihood of pinch flatting your tubed or tubeless tire.
MOLDED SPOKE HOLE: A patented process of molding spoke and valve stem holes results in rims that are stronger and lighter. Carbon fiber gets its strength from continuous fibers, so we route the fibers around the hole without cutting them, increasing the strength of each spoke hole.
INNERDRIVE™ HUBS
INNERDRIVE™ represents the pinnacle of bicycle drive mechanisms. Oversized steel ratchets are positioned inboard and over the bearings, reducing stress on the axle and bearings while ensuring positive and reliable engagement.
HIGHLIGHTS & BENEFITS:
- Designed oversized 42mm ratchet drive system
- Longer bearing life
- Reduced axle stress — less bearing drag and prolonged bearing life
- Drive component retention
- Perfect Preload — automatic preload adjustment
- Low maintenance — easy serviceability
