A while back featured the Zelvy balance bike, a full carbon balance bike that would be the envy of all the pedal-less BMXers from around the world. Already a leader in the MTB industry the 100% Australian company is poised to take the BMX scene by storm with it’s new carbon rim.

Product Description

Our new 406 BMX rim and wheelsets were developed together with some of the fastest BMX racers on the planet. We worked with tyre manufacturers to rewrite the BMX wheel. The result is our BMX rim is both hookless, as well as being tubeless compatible. We took what we learnt in MTB and designed a wide 26mm internal width (32mm external) and combined that with a low 22mm profile. The result is better cornering tyre support resulting in improved cornering control, larger tyre volume allowing lower pressures, providing a smoother ride without increasing rolling resistance, and a supple, damped ride and better impact resistance from the low rim profile. Acceleration out of the gate is vastly improved due not only to the stiffness of the rim providing equal torque transfer through the spokes, but also the incredibly light weight of the rim itself at 260 grams.
