Composite Wheel

Stiff 5 Spoke Design

• A stiffer composite wheel is achieved by using 5 versus 3 or 4 spokes
• The offset spokes are oriented in the forward direction of rotation. This configuration improves torque transfer from the spokes to the rim

Hub Support

• Optimal support for the DT Swiss hub is provided by the offset spoke and integrated gusset design

One Piece Wheel

• A patented, breakthrough, manufacturing method is used to produce a “Truly” one-piece wheel
• No metal or composite rim is bonded or riveted to the spokes
• A one-piece design improves the overall durability and toughness

Composite Rim Advantages

• The thick yet resilient rim flanges reduces pinch flats and flat spots
• The hooked bead shape is molded into the rim. This feature is exclusive to the manufacturing process used by TAG Wheels

• The oversized rim is ideal for wider tires used in downhill, freeride, all mountain and urban applications

• The integrated gusset between the spokes improves rim support and reduces flat spots
• The valve stem relief eliminates the need for a valve stem extension

Wheel Alignment

• The wheel alignment is permanently set when the hub shell is assembled to the composite wheel at the TAG Wheels facility. No further adjustment is required

Internal Stiffening Ribs

• An internal stiffening rib in each spoke is used to further improve lateral stiffness and torsion resistance. This feature is exclusive to the manufacturing process used by TAG Wheels

Interlock Hub Bore Design

• (10) Precision tolerance interlocks match the hub shell
• The wheel and hub interlock maximizes torque transfer and shear resistance

Composite Material

• A high quality composite material with exceptional structural specifications was selected to provide the optimal balance between impact, stiffness and density properties
• Reinforcing fibers are used to improve stiffness
• High impact modifiers are used to increase toughness
• UV (Ultraviolet) Inhibitors are used to offset the effects of sunlight
