Video Review:
The demands of mountain biking have changed over the last several years, and the search for strong lightweight wheels has become ultra competitive. Cross country racers are going faster than ever, and downhill courses are so big, that 10 foot drops are becoming more and more common. Many companies are using lightweight steel spokes, and rims so thin they dent easily to cut back on weight.
There HAD to be a better answer. That answer is PBO technology.
PBO spokes can reduce wheel weight by up to half a kilo per set when compared to traditional wire spoked wheels. When combined with Spinergy’s custom U.S. made hubs and rims, you end up with wheels lighter than any wheel on the planet.
Through the use of PBO fiber, Spinergy MTB wheels are able to withstand impacts 25% greater than traditional wheels, and up to 50% greater than other lightweight wheels. Since PBO spokes are up to 5 times stronger than steel spokes, rim strength is not sacrificed for weight savings. In fact, the PBO fiber in all of the MTB wheel spokes is the same fiber used in Spinergy motocross wheels.
You rely on your wheels to get you to the finish, time after time, and Spinergy delivers.
