29er Carbon MTB Wheelset | 25mm Inner Width | Tubeless Ready | 1740g

29er Carbon MTB Wheelset — 25mm Inner Width, Tubeless Ready

This 29er carbon wheelset delivers a 1,740g (±30g) set weight with a 25mm inner width rim profile, making it a solid choice for trail, all-mountain, and light enduro riding. The wider inner channel supports modern tyre volumes (2.3–2.5") and improves cornering stability compared to narrower 21–23mm rims.

Key Specifications

Who This Wheelset Is For

• Trail & all-mountain riders seeking a weight-conscious carbon upgrade from alloy wheels.
• Riders running 2.3"–2.5" tyres who benefit from the 25mm inner width for better tyre shape and reduced pinch-flat risk.
• Tubeless converts — the rim is tubeless-ready, compatible with standard tubeless valves and sealant.

Honest Tradeoffs to Consider

• At 25mm depth, this is a cross-country to trail profile — not optimised for aggressive enduro or downhill use where deeper, heavier rims offer more durability.
• The Powerway M81 hub uses sealed cartridge bearings, which offer low maintenance but are less field-serviceable than cup-and-cone designs in remote conditions.
• 28-spoke lacing is lighter but less forgiving under repeated high-impact landings; 32H option recommended for riders over 90 kg or aggressive riding styles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 1,740g a good weight for a 29er carbon wheelset?

Yes — 1,740g is competitive for a carbon 29er wheelset in this price range. Budget alloy equivalents typically weigh 1,900–2,100g, so this represents a meaningful rotational weight saving.

Are the Powerway M81 hubs reliable for enduro riding?

The M81 uses enduro-grade sealed cartridge bearings and is rated for through-axle 15×142mm rear mounting, making it suitable for trail and all-mountain use. It is not a DT Swiss 350 or Chris King equivalent, but offers a strong performance-to-cost ratio for recreational to semi-competitive enduro riders.

Is a 25mm inner width rim good for trail MTB?

A 25mm inner width sits at the lower end of modern trail standards (25–30mm). It works well with 2.2"–2.4" tyres, offering a good balance of weight and tyre support. Riders using 2.5"+ tyres may prefer a 28–30mm inner width for optimal tyre profile.

Can I run this wheelset tubeless?

Yes. The rim is tubeless-compatible within the 45–65 psi operating range. You will need tubeless valves, rim tape, and sealant (not included).

What axle standards does this wheelset support?

The rear hub supports 15×142mm through-axle and 100×135mm quick-release. Front axle compatibility should be confirmed with the seller for your specific fork standard.
