Trail | Wheels

Trail riding is the heart of mountain biking, and it requires a wheelset that is a true all-rounder—light enough for long climbs, strong enough for technical descents, and lively enough to make every moment fun. Our Synthesis Trail wheels are engineered to be the perfect partner for any singletrack adventure. At the core is our tuned system philosophy. The front wheel is built for compliance, giving you the confidence to tackle challenging terrain. Its wider rim profile and more flexible construction allow it to absorb impacts and maintain traction, keeping you in control. This means more grip in loose corners and less deflection through rocks and roots. The rear wheel is built for stiffness and acceleration. This provides a snappy, responsive feel when you put the power down and ensures the wheel tracks perfectly through berms and tight corners. For our alloy trail wheels, we also incorporate principles like our twin-pair spoke technology, which uses a triangular shape to maximize strength and stiffness, and a design that keeps mass closer to the hub for faster acceleration. This results in a wheelset that feels both incredibly stable and playfully nimble. Available in lightweight carbon and high-performance alloy, our Synthesis Trail wheels provide a tangible upgrade in ride quality, giving you more control, more confidence, and more fun on every ride.
