The XC930 Pro, the next-gen version of our popular XC930, is designed to meet the demands of most XC riders seeking uncompromised versatility and ultralight precision. The 255g MTB rim achieves an extraordinary 95J impact score, striking the perfect balance between lightweight performance and rugged durability.
- AER180mm: Leading the Triathlon & TT Charge
The AER180 is a triathlon and time trial wheel designed for elite riders, like Kona IRONMAN World Championship racers. It is the pinnacle of speed, stability, and control. With an ultra-deep profile, the AER180 minimizes gaps around the hub and spokes. This design adopts key benefits of a disc wheel, reducing turbulent airflow and decreasing drag. Weighing just 820 grams (disc brake version) and 860 grams (rim brake version), the AER180 rivals the weight of far shallower competitors. Our Sea Otter 2025 custom build features blue titanium spokes and the lightweight LB Pace hub.
