Race Face Turbine R 30mm Front Wheel

When Race Face set about designing the Turbine R Wheel, they listed in order what they felt was important in a wheel and built something to meet those requirements. With the top 3 priorities being Durability, Stiffness, and Serviceability, the Turbine R can handle almost anything you can throw at it.

The wheel features an asymmetric design offsetting the placement of the spoke nipples by 3mm. This design mixed with the purpose-built Vault hub leads to a wheel with equally balanced spoke tension throughout and a single spoke size for ease of replacement.

Who’s this item for: Designed for aggressive trail riding this wheel would be perfect for Trail or Enduro bikes.
