Good mountain biking wheels should feature a solid and relatively lightweight rim, as well as high-quality hubs that have been carefully sealed to provide protection from moisture, mud and dust. A key element is the proper braiding of the wheels and the use of high-quality spokes, which make the wheels more resistant to off-road loads, eliminating the need for frequent centering.
It is also worth noting the inner width of the rim. For popular tires with a width of 2.25″, a rim with an inner width of about 25 mm is recommended. Such a selection allows the tire to fit optimally on the rim, which promotes effective operation of the wheel and tire in demanding terrain.
The following models of wheels from our offer definitely deserve to be called one of the best in their price category. Each model can be customized in the configurator - which makes it possible, for example, to modify the hubs or spokes in accordance with the wheel components we recommend.
