Rims that redefine durability
The heart of any wheelset lies in its rims, and the Explorator II GCR40 doesn't disappoint. Crafted from a specific Niobium alloy with a T10 heat treatment, these rims are ultra-strong and durable. The 40mm aero profile offers a 21mm inner width and a deep 9mm inner drop. This design not only makes installing difficult tires a breeze but also ensures a better fit for wider tires. The rims provide excellent stability for tires up to 40c. But what sets these wheels apart is that they come tubeless ready right out of the box. Say goodbye to tire setup hassles and hello to puncture-resistant, lower-rolling-resistance rides.
