Technologies

Tubeless Straight Side (hookless rim design)
Using hookless technology improves the rim structure, increasing strength and reducing weight. Aerodynamically, the smoother transition from tyre to rim reduces drag. The rim channel without retaining hooks offers greater impact protection and reduces inner tube pinch flats, especially when riding gravel. The 25 mm internal width is optimised for the best balance between aerodynamic drag and reduced rolling resistance with wider tyres.
