A solid 5mm rim sidewall helps minimize the risk of impact damage by broadening the contact point between a sharp or square-edged object and the rim and tire. This also allows riders to forgo heavy tire inserts, which means less unsprung weight for better suspension performance.
Greater confidence on rugged descents. Power and agility for technical climbs. The new TRX WheelSystem features Wide Guard technology to soak up impacts and drastically reduce pinch flats. A broad 30mm inner rim width and robust 5mm sidewalls allow you to run lower tire pressures for better traction and control when things get rowdy. The optimized carbon layup of the rims minimizes weight, and a 72-tooth hub delivers instant engagement—so you can climb and accelerate with power and speed.
Hauptleistungsfaktoren
REDUCED RISK OF FLATS
New Wide Guard rim technology features a broad 30mm inner rim width and a robust 5mm sidewall to reduce the risk of impact punctures. In lab tests, these composite rims showed a 29.6% improvement in puncture protection over the previous generation TRX WheelSystem.
MORE TRACTION
The combination of wider composite rims and the new 5mm thick sidewall allow you to run much lower tire pressure without the need of heavy tire inserts. The result is better grip and control on rough, technical trails.
INSTANT ENGAGEMENT
Lightweight composite rims combined with an industry-leading 72-tooth pawl driver results in rapid power transfer and acceleration. The rear hub’s oversized drive-side hub body bearing, axle and ring nut combine with the enlarged pawls to increase stiffness and durability.
WIDE GUARD TECHNOLOGY
PUNCTURE PROTECTION
Lab tests simulated pinch flat scenarios by pressinga sharp, square-edged block against the tire until it hit the rim edge and punctured the tire. In test after test, the TRX WheelSystem withstood the highest impact forces without flatting, outperforming previous generation TRX and other top wheels in the category by up to 44 percent.
MORE TRACTION
A broad 30mm inner rim width and robust 5mm sidewalls allow for much lower tire pressure, giving you better traction and control on rough, technical climbs and descents. A low 22mm rim depth further improves compliance and ride feel.
INSTANT ENGAGEMENT
The combination of a lightweight carbon rim layup and industry-leading 72-tooth pawl driver results in rapid power transfer as you pedal over obstacles and accelerate out of corners. In the rear, an oversized drive-side hub body bearing, axle and ring nut combine with enlarged pawls to increase stiffness and durability.
E-MTB OPTION
The E-bike specific E-TRX WheelSystem shares the same features and technologies but with an extra-strong steel axle and driver body on the rear hub to handle added forces and torque.
