Kinesis Maxlight Wheelset 29er Black - 9mm / 15mm / 135/142

Kinesis Maxlight Wheelset 29er Black - 9mm / 15mm / 135/142

Our 29er wheelset, it uses the same proven rim section that we use for our DMR ‘Thret’ wheels, this is a really tough and lightweight Tubeless Compatible rim and it’s 26mm width makes a nice stable base for wider tyres without being overly wide and heavy. These wheels are designed for the same kind of useage as our Maxlight FF29 frame: Fast, aggressive, trailbike use, with some drops and air along the way. This isn’t to say that you can’t use them as race wheels, they are certainly light enough.

Light wheels are of real importance if a 29er is to feel as close as possible in acceleration and change of direction to a 26" wheeled bike.

Tubeless Compatible with tubeless channel rims, true disc-specific profile, T10 Ultra High Strength alloy, eyeletted. 26mm wide 22mm. Deep

NB you will require a tubeless kit (rim strip and valves) to run these wheels as a tubeless system.

“Kinesis designer Dom was extremely pleased to show us the new Maxlight wheelsets. Available in 26? and 29? for mountain bikes…tubeless ready 21mm internal width and neat hubs that can switch between QR and through axle. Dom describes them as for “aggressive XC” use and prices will start from £400 a pair.” …”However, all this will make the CX crowd very happy – a proper, disc specific wheelset with no braking surface, 135mm rear spacing and 28 spokes per rim. If you like your gears Italian, then the best bit is that they’re working on a Campag freehub that will be available aftermarket.”
