Hope Hoops Pro 3 SP-XC3 mountain bike wheelset review
24 May 2012, 4:28 am
This
wheelset from Lancashire alloy-turners Hope Technology blends new-age wheel technology with old-fashioned, high-quality tradition. Key to this lightweight 1,423g
wheelset are Hope’s own Pro 3 hubs with their unique tri-arm rotor design. The hubs are among the lightest you’ll find, but on the downside it means you’re stuck using Hope’s own, admittedly effective and durable, Pro-3-specific ...
Superstar Switch AM mountain bike wheelset review
23 May 2012, 4:51 am
The Alex Supra rims used for Superstar's Switch AM wheels are reliably tough and broad enough to handle fat tyres without being heavy and slow on the bike, and production sets will be laser etched. They’re hand-built in the UK with top quality Sapim CX Ray spokes and while they’re not the tightest-laced wheels, Superstar offer lifetime retensioning as part of the price. The Switch hubs will ...
American Classic All Mountain wheelset review
22 May 2012, 4:15 am
These very impressive new versions of American Classic's proven tubeless wheels save weight off your trail bike with no obvious stiffness or strength downsides. The most obvious aspect of these wheels is a very low weight (1,582g) that’s comparable to carbon fibre wheels at a much lower cost. While freewheel pickup can lag, they light up very quickly once locked in. They flick and lift around ...
Hope Hoops Pro 2 Evo wheelset (Stan's Flow rims) review
21 May 2012, 4:27 am
Hope’s homemade wheel buffet still beats most pre-built
wheelsets on versatility, value and reliability. Stan’s Flow rims are good light-yet-strong and tubeless-ready hoops, and are great value from Hope compared to the price of buying separately. There’s a wide range of Mavic and DT alternatives for the same price, all laced in Lancashire using Sapim spokes. The Pro 2 Evo hubs are superbly ...
Fulcrum Red Power XL mountain bike wheelset review
18 May 2012, 4:35 am
While most cost-conscious wheels betray their budget on the scales, the externally butted rims of the Red Power XLs are bang on the grams for their category. Quick pickup from the silent freehub and taut asymmetric spoking give them a responsive feel on the trail and they track well and corner confidently too. They’re not shy of clattering through rocks or fair sized drops either. The steel ...
Stan's ZTR Alpine 3.30 mountain bike wheelset review
17 May 2012, 4:32 am
Stan’s low-profile, lightweight rims have confirmed their strength in the years we’ve been using them and the Alpine cross-country rims are no exception. They'll flex and eventually fail if you hammer them, but don’t go mental and you’ll be fine. The 21mm internal width gives enough support for larger tyres to add protection. They’re not the stiffest under power, but their low weight means they ...

DT Swiss Tricon M1700 mountain bike wheelset review
16 May 2012, 4:17 am
Outstanding stiffness and top quality hubs make the DT Swiss Tricon M1700s a super-responsive trail or cross-country upgrade but their axle options are limited and they’re seriously pricey. Tricon wheels use a unique direct-pull spoke and rim anchoring system for exceptionally high tension that’s immediately obvious in the super-taut, pinpoint accurate ride feel. They’re too narrow for fat tyres ...
Halo 4XR mountain bike wheelset review
15 May 2012, 4:26 am
The buzzing 120-point, three-pawl Micro Notch engagement in the Supa Drive rear hub means that the Halo 4XRs’ instant catch and drive is the first thing you notice. The wheels are light enough to make the most of that snap for those who like to blitz between corners and jumps. The 21mm internal width rim gives enough girth to handle big tyres without wobbling and we’ve put a hard year of use and ...
Syncros FL25 mountain bike wheelset review
14 May 2012, 4:25 am
Syncros’s carbon rims have been around for a while and are proving reliably tough despite being very light. As you’d hope for the price, they’re noticeably tighter-tracking than similar weight alloy wheels. Pickup is average but acceleration is excellent and they instantly enhance the agility of any bike you stick them in. The bearings and freehub have been fine on our long-term sets. The 20mm ...
