TECH

With a huge 45mm internal width and the ability to run anything from a 2.8” tire right up to a monstrous 3.2”, the XC945 (WM29C15) will give you the smooth rolling traction you’ve always wanted.

Typically, stock alloy plus wheelsets are built with heavier spokes to make up for their lack of stiffness. With a vertically compliant rim and significant side stiffness, lighter spokes are used to reduce overall wheel weight. Upgrading to our plus wheelset can easily save more than a pound off of a stock wheelset! Breath new life into your ride and bring a new level of responsiveness, stiffness, and control.
