Bike Ahead Revamps One-Piece, Full Carbon Mountain Bike Wheels

That has to be some of the lightest 29″ clincher wheels around.

spinergy’s were exploding on impact. i’ve not heard of the limb chopping but if that were the case i imagine bladed spokes too would be banned and certainly mad fibers.

Are they tubeless compatible?

Can be used with sealant as ZTR ?

Yeah but you’re comparing them to the Enve XC which is only 18mm wide internal. They’re closer to the AM which is 24mm wide, and a few hundred grams heavier depending on the hub.

I think they look promising. The Spin wheels were terrible on the road, as they were so unforgiving. This is a similar concept, unlike the Spinergy’s which use a tensioned spoke and aluminum braking surface. That’s not a problem on an MTB though. I bet they’re stiff too. Can probably run tubeless without rim strips saving another few grams. My main concern would be catching a branch or something between those spokes. Conventional wheels, worst case is a broken spoke. These, not so much.

Eliflap. I don’t see why you couldn’t use sealant. I use it in my Enve’s as do lots of others.

loading rifle……..

Xentis Kappa are way better looking than these…

These are badass. Like high performance mags for your race bike. B.A. if you ask me.

Actually, Spinergy Rev-X wheels where banned by the UCI when the UCI changed their rules to require a minimum of twelve spokes in any wheel. No impact testing or any of that nonsense, that’s for the EU, CN, etc. to test.

Article 1.3.018 relates only to mass start competitions.
In this type of events, the riders generally use standard (traditional) wheels which are clearly defined in
Article 1.3.018. These wheels are authorised de facto.
However, during mass start competitions, certain riders do use non-standard wheels (rims higher than 2.5
cm, fewer than 16 spokes, spoke thicknesses of over 2.4 mm). If any of these conditions is noted, the wheel
is deemed to be a non-standard wheel and must have passed a rupture test in order for it to be authorised
for use in competition.
The manufacturers inform the UCI of the names of wheels which have been successfully tested. The names
of these wheels are shown in the list below. The wheels can therefore be clearly identified. If this is not the
case then the wheel is not authorised for use.

If these had an aluminum braking surface, they would look rad on my Scott Endorphin with HS33s.
