In the case of enduro wheels and electric bicycles (e-bikes), the key factors are primarily reliability and high durability. Although low weight is important, it is secondary. When building enduro wheels, we use dedicated rims for the toughest applications from renowned brands in this segment, such as DT Swiss and ZTR Stan’s NoTubes.
The wheels are available in two spoke configurations: Straightpull (straight spokes, 28 per wheel for lower weight) and Classic (traditional, 32 spokes). The higher number of spokes in the Classic version increases wheel durability. Straightpull wheels are intended for lighter users or terrain without heavy impacts, such as jumps from several meters. There are also Mullet 29/27.5″ sets with different rim sizes, which are becoming increasingly popular.
Choosing the right model of spokes is important when configuring wheels. By default, we use the Sapim D-Light model, which offers a relatively low weight and high durability. For very demanding technical terrain or for users where the total load exceeds 110 kg (bike, gear, and rider), we recommend selecting Sapim Race spokes in the configurator. This option will increase the durability of the wheels, which is crucial under heavy loads. Additionally, for the most demanding applications, consider using brass nipples, which are stronger than the lighter aluminum ones. Both types of nipples are available in the configurator, allowing you to customize the wheels to your individual needs.
