If you're limiting your thinking to just one category when it comes to trail bikes, you're thinking too small. Nowadays, trail bikes embody that which we've always dreamed of: endless versatility. Our new trail carbon wheelset blurs boundaries just like a modern trail bike sweeps away old categories and ways of thinking, defining a new era of mountain biking. One in which you no longer have to be held up by inadequate components. And where no one has to sneer at narrow tires, short-travel forks or long stems. Instead, the new trail bike is a tool that is capable of everything. That feels at home everywhere and that can keep up with everyone – just like our new trail-carbon wheelset.
Can XC, isn't just XC
Our xc-sls-race wheelset is at the forefront of performance and lightweight. It's the disciplined athlete who prepares for a race two years in advance and considers every gram twice. On the other hand, our trail-carbon wheelset is the rider who stubs out their cigarette just before the race and is the first with a can of beer in their hands afterwards. Yet they still win a step on the podium. They don't take anything too seriously, are only taking part because they feel like it, yet still manage to deliver the goods when it counts. There's no chance of our trail wheelset competing with the XC-Race wheelset on the scales, but on your home trails, the differences will hardly be noticeable.
On your home trails, the acros trail-carbon wheelset doesn't lag behind its alter ego in any way.
Can enduro, isn't just enduro
If it's about all-out durability, you can't get around our enduro-carbon wheelset. Made to endure, this wheelset marks the other extreme in our portfolio compared to the xc-sls-race: the focus is on riding down and hard, rather than pedalling up. The new trail-carbon wheelset sits comfortably between those two extremes and combines the advantages of both approaches. Generalist instead of specialist. While the enduro wheelset is made for the hard stuff and can eschew weight savings like a heavyweight boxer, the trail wheelset is much more the street fighter who, in a pinch, will pick up a broken beer bottle and, at the very worst, come away with a black eye.
Coming up behind, the heavyweight pro. In the lead, the unknown newcomer.
Can ride trail, is trail
Our trail-carbon wheelset just smiles when it comes to xc and enduro racing. It feels happiest when it can careen carelessly across your home trails. It works by far the best when it is left free of conventions and dress codes. It's made to give you the best time on the bike. As a group or on your own, it doesn't matter with the new trail-carbon wheelset. Why? Because it can do everything and cuts a fine figure everywhere. Steffi and the boys are already flying across the trails. And you?
