ECO TEK
Our Recon Pro rims are manufactured using a completely new series of molds and use a new 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.
EXO TEK
Our Recon Pro rims use a High-grade customized epoxy resin in the prepreg, which creates an incredibly stable base for our rims. Epoxy is less brittle than polyester resins and offers far better flexural strength. This consistent resin system coupled with a precise layup schedule offers the most reliable and durable product we’ve ever created.

BLACK TEK
Recon Pro Rims feature our new BlackTek finish and 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 which will disturb layers causing uneven strength and weak spots in carbon, leading to possible premature breakage. 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.

FLYWEIGHT
Applied in model XC725, XC925 off Recon Pro Series, our lightest construction method uses an exclusive unidirectional prepreg with a very low fiber areal weight. A variable thickness nipple bed reinforces key areas around the spoke holes, eliminating excess material. A blend of Toray T-700 and T-800 offers the weight saving benefits of T-800 carbon without compromising the strength or stiffness of the rim.
