XC-500 Wheelset


XC-500T

The XC-500 picks up where other trail wheelsets leave off. More and more riders are seeking a wheel that is tougher than their current XC set, but don't want to push the mass of a wheel designed for DH or freeride. The XC-500 is intended to blur the line between strength and performance.

When the route makes your buddies dismount and hike, the deep triangular shape of the XC-500 rim will stay round even if things go pear-shaped. A rim bed with no spoke holes allows for tubeless tire mounting without a rim strip. Stout but elegant machined and anodized hubs spin on ABEC sealed bearings, and of course a ceramic upgrade is possible.
