Crankbrothers DH11 27.5 Wheelset, Black

The tuned carbon wheel system for downhill mountain biking is designed to address the specific performance requirements and loads of this demanding discipline. The front and rear wheels are engineered and optimized separately to provide a specialized solution.

The front wheel features a compliant tuned design that improves handling and maximizes grip and control in turns. This enhances the rider's ability to navigate technical terrain and maintain stability through tight corners. The rear wheel, on the other hand, is stiffer and tuned to support the peak loads encountered at high speeds. This stiffness enhances stability and tracking, providing a more composed and confident ride when descending or powering through challenging sections.

The wheel specifications are tailored to the intended use. The inner rim width measures 31.5mm for both the front and rear wheels, while the outer rim width varies slightly, with the front at 38.7mm and the rear at 39.5mm. The rim height is a consistent 18.75mm across both wheels. The spoke count is also differentiated, with the front wheel using 28 spokes and the rear wheel employing 32 spokes to accommodate the higher loads.

The hubs are Project 321 Shimano-compatible, ensuring seamless integration with the drivetrain. The engagement mechanism utilizes quiet 2.5-degree engagement with magnetic pawls, providing a responsive and efficient power transfer.

Backed by a lifetime warranty on the rims, this tuned carbon wheel system offers a reliable and high-performance solution for the demands of downhill mountain biking. The total weight of the set is 1945 grams, striking a balance between strength, stiffness, and low weight.

In summary, this specialized carbon wheel system is designed to elevate the downhill mountain biking experience. The front and rear wheels are meticulously tuned to provide enhanced handling, grip, stability, and support, enabling riders to tackle technical terrain with confidence and control.
