Race 28 29" front wheel

Tune has developed this exclusive aluminium wheel that maintains a light weight despite an inner rim width of 28mm. The grip and aggressivity in the curves are unbeatable in this range. The wheel is equipped with our best-selling KillHill hub. The hub is CNC machined in our factory from aerospace grade aluminium, thus demonstrating increased fatigue strength and low weight. The anodising ensures a great look and prevents corrosion, even under the toughest circumstances. Assembled and adjusted by hand in Buggingen, Germany, the Race 28 29” boasts the highest quality standards—guaranteed! The geometry has been optimised for a balanced, stiff wheel. The rim is made with high performance aluminium alloy, which confers competitive weight, great ride stability, and the best durability on the market. Also, the rim is asymmetric for a more balanced wheel build. The shot peen finish increases fatigue life and durability. With an inner width of 28mm, the rim provides improved tyre support, which allows lower pressure, less rolling resistance, and better grip on rough tracks. It is ideal for modern XC assembly. The wheel is fitted with Sapim CX-Ray spokes, which have extremely high fatigue test results and are very light. Typical for Tune, this wheel is available in seven colours for the hub, the nipples, and the decals to make your bike as unique as you are. With the Race 28 29”, you take a big step into the future!
