WTB (United States) - Press Release: The world's best carbon rims are now available with high-quality WTB hubs to create the best all-around wheel option on the market.

CZR carbon rims:

Reinforced spoke beds and solid strip integration:

Increasing carbon thickness around each spoke bed improves strength while also minimizing weight in areas where less material is needed. CZR rims feature Solid Strip, which is a durable strip that sits in the valley of the rim to prevent tubeless tape from sagging at the spoke holes, which results in less air being needed to mount a tire and also protects the airtight system from puncture in the case of a broken spoke. This results in a more robust tubeless system that is easier to set up.

High-Quality WTB Hubs:

5 degrees of reliable engagement:

The world’s best carbon rims deserved to be paired with high-quality hubs that further improve the performance of a lightweight, dependable carbon wheelset. Frequency hubs feature a low-drag, 6-pawl design that alternates contact between two sets of 3-pawl groupings to provide a responsive 5 degrees of freehub engagement.

Gravel:

CZR i23 700:

Gravel-eating CZR i23 wheels are designed to minimize weight while blending stiffness and compliance to maximize power transfer and increase comfort on long gravel rides. The thickness of the CZR rim walls were fine-tuned to reduce weight, improve vertical compliance, reduce rider fatigue and increase overall comfort throughout long days of pedaling.

Mountain:

CZR i30 29":

CZR i30 wheels were designed to handle it all, which is why they feature a strategically reinforced carbon layup and are hand built using double-butted spokes, brass nipples and high-engagement Frequency hubs featuring top-tier bearings and oversized freehub seals to establish themselves as wheels that simply won’t quit.

i23 or i30:

Gravel or mountain:

Fast and light, CZR i23 gravel wheels are designed to minimize weight and maximize compliance on rough gravel roads, while CZR i30 are aggressive trail and enduro wheels built tough to endure whatever lies in their path. While the two wheels were designed for specific usages at different ends of the riding spectrum, the common goal behind both was creating high-performance carbon wheels that are equal parts lightweight and dependable.
