XCR WheelSystem
RAPID RESPONSE
Proven at the highest level by World Champion Alan Hatherly, the new XCR WheelSystem pushes the limits of what’s possible on fast, technical XC terrain. Engineered with advanced carbon construction, Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) spoke technology, and a next-generation hub drive system, it combines the razor-sharp speed of an XC race wheel with the strength and control needed for full-speed, technical trail riding. From explosive starts to gnarly descents, XCR transmits every watt into forward motion, giving you the confidence to push harder, ride faster, and stay in control when it matters most.
Hlavné výhody
FULL POWER
A lightweight carbon rim layup, high-tensile-strength carbon spokes, and Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) deliver uncompromising race-day efficiency. This advanced spoke-lacing system sets the leading and trailing spokes at a wider bracing angle and balances their tension under power, creating a stiffer, more stable wheel structure that resists deflection when you accelerate or corner hard. Working together with the lightweight rim construction, this design achieves exceptional stiffness-to-weight. The result is explosive acceleration, razor-sharp handling, and greater control across fast, technical terrain. At just 1350g, the new XCR sheds 150g compared to the previous generation. Lateral stiffness-to-weight improves by 8.8%, boosting precision through corners, while rear transmission stiffness-to-weight increases by 26 % for more efficient power transfer.
ZERO DELAY
Every split second counts in XC racing, and this next-generation hub is engineered to deliver immediate, consistent power with every pedal stroke. At its core, the Helical-Bevel Ratchet Drive System creates a 10° helical engagement between the hub and ratchet rings. This angled, conical interface allows the ratchet teeth to mesh progressively rather than head-on, spreading load more evenly and maintaining constant contact through each engagement. The result is efficient torque transfer, reduced stress on components, and quieter operation under peak load. The 120-tooth helical ratchet system delivers 3° engagement for immediate reaction, ensuring instant power when accelerating. Together, these technologies deliver precise responsiveness and long-term durability, helping you maximize your speed and control on the most demanding XC terrain.
HIGH IMPACT RESISTANCE
Built to withstand the demands of modern XC racing and fast trail riding, Wide Guard Technology with reinforced hookless carbon rim construction delivers industry-leading strength and reliability. Rounded-edge 5mm better absorb impacts, reducing the risk of pinch flats, and a 30mm inner width supports lower tire pressures for more traction and control. Each XCR spoke features six carbon fiber tows, delivering increased strength and impact resistance over competitor designs with four tows. The result is exceptional durability and strength without added weight.
