FAQs

Does this wheel come with a thru-axle?

No, the wheel is compatible with 12 x 148mm thru-axles, which are typically supplied with your mountain bike frame.

Can I use a Shimano HG cassette with this wheel?

No, this specific model features a Microspline freehub body, which is designed exclusively for Shimano 12-speed cassettes.

What is the internal rim width?

The internal width is 30mm, making it ideal for tires between 2.2 and 3 inches wide.

Is this wheel suitable for downhill racing?

While it is robust enough for enduro, it is designed specifically for enduro applications; heavy downhill use may exceed the rim's intended stress limits.

What kind of brake rotors does it accept?

It is compatible with 6-bolt disc brake rotors only.

Troubleshooting

Excessive play in the wheel

Check that the thru-axle is torqued correctly to the frame manufacturer's specifications.

Difficulty seating the tire

Ensure the rim tape is properly applied and verify that the tire bead is pushed into the center channel of the rim before inflating.

Freehub noise or clicking

The rapid engagement is designed to be audible, but if the engagement feels mushy, clean and apply a thin layer of manufacturer-approved freehub grease.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely fast engagement for technical climbing
  • Tubeless-ready design simplifies setup
  • Triple-butted spokes offer enhanced durability
  • Optimized rim width for modern high-volume tires

Cons

  • Requires Microspline-compatible cassette
  • Limited to 6-bolt disc brake rotors
  • Not intended for non-boost frame standards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This wheel is designed for 12 x 148mm boost spacing frames. To set up for tubeless, ensure you have tubeless-compatible rim tape, a high-flow tubeless valve, and sealant installed. The hub is configured for 6-bolt disc brake rotors only; Centerlock rotors are not compatible without an adapter. For long-term care, periodically inspect the spoke tension after the first few rides, as new wheels often require a tension check once they have settled. Clean the hub area with a light degreaser, avoiding high-pressure water near the bearings to maintain internal lubrication.
