RIMS

IBEX 25 - size: 622 x 25
These rims have been tested and certified for a weight of 140 kg by the renowned Zedler Institute, a leading German testing facility specializing in bicycle safety standards.
They also successfully completed long-term field testing on an electric bike that was featured in ElectricBike magazine, proving its reliability in challenging real-world conditions.

TUBELESS READY – with tubeless tape, the wheels are ready for use with tubeless tires. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use tires with a width of 38 - 50 mm.

GOATed Alloy - a special durable alloy with an optimized GREATEST OF ALL TIME (GOAT) composition, which is 88% stronger than 6063 T6, or 47% stronger in tensile strength than 6061 T6.

SLEEVE JOINT - rims are manufactured using the proven SLEEVE JOINT coupling technology (joined using a shaped aluminum insert), with the joint additionally reinforced with a SPOT WELD spot weld.

PINCH FLAT SAFE HOOK - the rim profile with PINCH FLAT technology is designed to maximize the contact area between the rim and the tire at the critical interface and prevent unwanted cutting of the tire by the rim during a hard impact of the wheel with very low tire pressure.

RIM LOCK - the rim drilling for the spoke is conical, so the nipple is not fixed and can rotate/move from its axis at an angle of up to 6°, which prevents the spokes from bending and helps reduce the tension between the spoke and the rim.
