FX SLS, FX WLS
MTB
Tailwind carbon mountain bike rims are developed using advanced Computational Modeling techniques, optimizing the rim profiles for maximum performance and durability on rough terrain. In short:
- Unmatched weight-to-stiffness ratio.
- Excellent aerodynamic properties thanks to CFD techniques
- Lightweight design for effortless acceleration
- Optimized tire-to-rim width ratio for lower rolling resistance, improved grip and increased comfort
- Superior responsiveness and agility
The Tailwind MTB line consists of two series of rims that will take your riding experience to new heights: the FX SLS30 and the FX WLS30.
FX SLS
The FX SLS30 is a true all-rounder. From XC marathon use to Down Country and All-Mountain: the versatile SLS30 is always ready for it. A fine, rock-solid all-rounder.
FX WLS
The WLS30, with its unique waved profile, offers significant advantages for off-road adventures. The wave pattern reinforces integrity and increases radial compliance, improving impact resistance and control over your bike, ensuring a smoother ride on even the roughest trails.
Tailwind wheels are built as standard with DT Swiss 240EXP hubs and steel Sapim spokes, Erase hubs with Berd spokes or HW hubs with Carbon spokes. For fully custom wheels with Tailwind rims, please refer to
