INFORMATION
Construction
The wheel is built around a reinforced 6069 aluminum rim with a shot-peened finish, a process that improves resistance to impacts, fatigue, and cracks. Its specific front wheel design uses a more generous internal width to optimize tire profile and increase contact patch.
Performance
Unlike traditional front wheels, the Synthesis E-MTB Alloy 2.0 is designed to offer greater vertical flex and compliance. This feature improves grip, reduces vibrations, and increases directional precision over rocks, roots, and technical sections. The Industry Nine 1/1 hub provides a rapid 4° engagement for immediate response when every pedal stroke counts.
Compatibility
Available in 29-inch and 27.5-inch sizes, this wheel is compatible with Boost 15 x 110 mm axles, 6-bolt disc brakes, and modern tubeless setups. Its 31 mm internal width is perfectly suited for current mountain bike tires intended for aggressive trail, enduro, and E-MTB riding.
