More distance, more laps, more climbs, more descents. E-bikes add more to the trail-riding experience. The WTB HTZ i35 rim is built to be burlier to combat the additional wear and tear of that more.
- With the thickest rim walls WTB offers, proven I-Beam center support and asymmetrical spoke hole drilling, this a great choice for your e-assist trail, enduro or downhill bike
- Optimized for your e-assist trail bike running 2.6–3.0 in. tires; 35 mm inner rim width will provide a rounded tire profile (compared to a flatter tire profile on a 40 mm rim)
- Increased wall thickness is capable of withstanding the forces of a modern e-bike
- Vertical support within the inner rim cavity drastically increases the strength and rigidity
- The additional reinforcement counteracts spoke loads and provides lateral rigidity, which is increasingly important for e-bike rims
- Durable nylon TCS Solid Strip lies between the rim and tubeless tape to prevent the tape from pushing into the spoke holes, ensuring a smooth interface between tire and rim
- The smooth surface makes it easier to mount a tire by preventing air from escaping around the bead at each indent during inflation
- Solid Strip also protects the airtight system from puncture in the case of a broken spoke
- 6069 aluminum alloy is excellent at absorbing massive impacts so you don't have to compensate for the additional weight of e-bikes with high tire pressures
- Designed for use with disc brakes
