Frequently Asked Questions

• Is a 25mm inner width rim good for gravel riding?
  Yes. 25mm inner width enhances tire support for gravel tires (1.9"–2.4"), improving grip and reducing pinch flats on rough or variable surfaces.
• How does 30mm rim depth compare to 40mm?
  30mm offers a balance of low aerodynamic drag and responsive handling; deeper profiles increase aerodynamic efficiency but may add weight and stiffness, impacting comfort and acceleration.
• Are these rims certified or lab-tested?
  Each rim is batch-tested for maximum spoke tension (>280kg) and impact (per ISO 4210) as part of our QC program.
• Are tubeless carbon rims beneficial for 27.5 inch builds?
  Yes, they enable lower tire pressures, reduce puncture risk, and improve comfort and performance for both gravel and MTB uses.
• Should I choose Superlight or Standard?
  Superlight rims (355g) support ultra-light builds for race-focused performance; Standard (395g) provides robust durability with minimal weight trade-off. Actual selection depends on rider weight, use-case, and desired wheel characteristics.

Warranty and Quality Assurance

• Warranty: 3 years, structural defects covered.
• Custom Options: Drilling patterns and finish customization supported for OEM/brand builds.
