RACEFACE Rear Wheel 29" TURBINE 30 12x148 XD WH23T30XD6B29R

The Alloy Answer

The wheel that mountain bikers have come to expect is the one that balances lightweight agility against durability and strength. The one that transmits enough of the rider's power while absorbing the small chatter and big chunder. It is the one that is built to last but doesn't cost the Earth.

The new Turbine Wheel is the one

We took the Enduro World Series-winning Turbine R wheel and further optimised its strength and vertical compliance. The result? A wheel that can take the abuse of the most aggressive enduro racer while giving the increased traction and comfort that every rider can appreciate.

Riders have attested that switching to a more compliant wheel makes it feel like they are running longer travel suspension on their bike. Turbine wheels let you enhance your ride from the ground up.

Pause the Pinch Flats with Anvil Edge

There is no mechanical failure more common—and more derided—than the pinch flat. Even with tubeless tyres swimming with sealant, a high-energy collision between the wheel rim and a hard trail surface (such as a rock or root) can result in tyre-destroying sidewall tears.

Anvil Edge is a wider rim edge that disperses the energy of a pinch flat across a broader, flatter surface. Think of placing a tyre on a chopping block and striking it with either a mallet or an axe. Fewer sidewall tears don't just mean fewer uninterrupted rides, you'll also get a longer life out of your tyres without the need for heavy casings or over-inflated pressures. With Turbine, you can ride your tyres the way you want, when you want.

Worth It

Race Face has never made a more durable and compliant alloy wheel than the new Turbine. We also managed to counter the trend of escalating bike prices by making it less expensive than its predecessor. All this with our Lifetime Warranty, inclusive of crashes.
