EXP 36 - With only a singlel spring, making the hubs faster and lighter, more complete engagement of the 36 ratchet teeth for more precise contact, and therefore a longer lifespan.

MTB carbon rim profile

The new Enduro workhorse in our lineup is ready for today's hard charging riders and racers. A heavily reinforced layup and new manufacturing technique will bring newfound confidence to your ride.


Targeted towards the high demands of top level enduro racing, the EN932 features a 32mm internal width, making it suited to the new breed of wide trail tires in the 2.3-2.8'' range. This wheelset is stiff and precise for exceptional tracking through rough terrain, featuring a heavy duty layup with thickened sidewalls for increased protection against rock strikes and impact resilience. These wheels are suitable for heavier riders, and feel at home on longer travel bikes.


E-bike Approved! This wheel is designed to be compatible with mid-drive e-bikes.

ExoTek: ExoTek-applied rims are designed to come out of the molds as a finished product which requires the most high quality manufacturing processes. The new resin system has superior consistency and forms the smoothest and most durable finish we’ve ever created. From a lengthened fatigue life to more robust interlaminar bonds, ExoTek raises the bar in performance and aesthetic.


EcoTek : Built from the highest grade of steel, we’ve engineered a completely new series of molds and developed a process that delivers a near flawless product. More time is taken through the layup and assembly process so that no post-production finishing is required. This new process is more environmentally friendly because it requires less heating cycles, no sanding, and no painting.


BlackTek : Rims featuring BlackTek come out of the molds as a finished product. Traditionally, rims are wet-sanded to remove imperfections like excess resin and then sprayed with a clearcoat. BlackTek rims come with a factory finish and the outer carbon layer is never disturbed after the curing cycle is completed. This is the most hard wearing and scratch resistant finish we have ever produced.


Asymmetric : Over the years, we’ve optimized an asymmetric profile that maintains the outright impact performance of a symmetric design but enjoys the benefits of offset spoke holes. This design significantly equalizes spoke tension between drive and non-drive spokes which results in a stronger wheel build that stays true longer.


Tubeless : All of our rims are tubeless compatible with bead seat retention. In most cases a floor pump is all that is needed to seal our rims. The bead shape is tailored to each rim width to achieve the best fit. Our hookless and clincher profiles have a smooth radius to reduce the chance of a pinch flat.


For Non-Pro Series Rims: From the date of purchase, 3-year Standard Warranty.

For Pro Series Rims: From the date of purchase, 5-year Pro Warranty as standard and an upgraded optional lifetime Premium Warranty with minimum charge.

Crash Replacement: It is applicable with the same period as the warranty time range that you purchased for the rims with 10% /25% discount for Non-Pro series /Pro series.

Hi Peter, Could you be more specific about your riding style so I can know which rim would be the best-fit for you? What kind of riding you usually do? The rim EN932(RECON PRO, 38mm wide) will compatible with your tires just fine. In fact, this is the strongest 29er enduro bike wheelset we have online currently if you consider yourself as an aggressive rider or riding on tough terrain often, it would be a good choice for you.
