FORZA RIMS

Our Forza rims are the heart of this wheelset, and they are optimized around tubeless tyres but tubes and traditional tyres can also be used. The inner width of 20 mm provides for more air volume (comfort) and improves tire profile (control).

FORZA PROFILE

The asymmetric profile provides for good spoke tension when lacing to offset hub flanges. These rims are the result of a clean sheet design that brings our best thinking to the table on what a rim should be.

Tyre pressure & size guide

We recommend you allow a sliding scale for tire pressures. As a general rule, the wider the tire is (more air volume) the less air pressure you’ll need to achieve a fast but compliant ride.



Experiment with tire size and air pressures to work out the best combination of volume and pressure for your intended terrain and overall riding style.



Air pressure recommendations from the tire manufacturers are a good starting point but should not exceed 105psi for this rim.
