More Traction, More Fun - Introducing Niner Carbon Wheels

At Niner, we know a thing or two about how 29ers ride, so in designing our new wheels, we set out to incorporate some key features that directly affect performance and your fun out on the trails. We've adopted wider rim widths for lateral strength and increased tire volume. Higher volume means you can run lower pressures for better comfort and traction, and because the tire beads sit wider you won't have that squirmy feel through the corners. Our offset drilling pattern leads to even spoke tensions, that when coupled with the optimized rim shapes produce laterally stiff and durable wheels. We finished them off with Stan's trusted Bead Socket Technology for easy and reliable tubeless setup so all you have to do is enjoy the ride.

XC Carbon
When you're looking for a new set of XC wheels, and you want something that's going to be light, dependable and fast, the new 1525 gram XC Carbons deliver.

The shape optimized full carbon rim strikes the perfect balance of 30mm width and 30mm depth to provide point-and-shoot control with a smooth, comfortable ride. The Stan's Bead Socket Technology 24mm channel has a low sidewall helping save weight, but more importantly allowing a rounder, more effective tire profile, and with it higher volume for more traction and reduced rolling resistance. And when it comes to tubeless set up, the BST 'socket' shape sets the bar for safe and secure tire engagement.

To compliment the rim, we've gone the extra mile in the build process to make sure you can enjoy every bit of performance. By incorporating an offset drilling pattern, we lace the rims up with 28 Sandvik stainless steel straight pull spokes. This ensures more even spoke tension and ultimately gives you a stiffer, more durable and fast feeling wheel.
 
TR Carbon
The new TR Carbon wheels open a new chapter in Niner's book of wheel building. Starting with what we've learned from our previous hoops, the TR Carbons incorporate the knowledge we've gained with updated, modern mountain bike features, to create an entirely new platform. 

The full carbon rim is specially shaped for strength and performance. The 41mm external width pairs with a 30mm depth to build a bomber wheel that will track straight in the most demanding situations, and stand up to miles of abuse. A 35mm Stan's Bead Socket Technology channel provides a wide platform with low sidewalls that gives your big tires an even bigger air volume and better shape. This means you can run lower tire pressures for excellent traction and a supple ride while still maintaining tire integrity. And if you run your tires tubeless, there is no better system than Stan's BST when it comes to ease of set up and reliable seal out on the trails.

Because these wheels are intended to tackle tough terrain, we've taken measures in the build process to make sure they're up to the task. The rim is drilled with an offset pattern to create better spoke triangulation. The benefit is better balanced tensioning of the 32 Sandvik stainless steel J-bend spokes giving you a stiffer, more durable wheel that will take on any trail.
