Revel RW30 Industry Nine Hydra Wheelset - 29", 15x110mm 12x148mm Boost, 28 Hole, Microspline, 6-Bolt, Black

The crew over at Revel Bikes designed this new carbon-like rim called the RW30. That's right, it's not your traditional carbon fiber, the material is called Fusion-Fiber™.Until now, carbon wheels and just about all carbon bike parts were made of pre-preg carbon fiber with epoxy and then hand laid into a rim mold.The epoxy component is what not only makes the process harmful to workers but it also makes it nearly impossible to recycle once the life of the carbon part is over.

From a performance standpoint, the Fusion-Fiber™ material has a strength to weight ratio better than traditional carbon fiber.Because of this,Revelhas been able to make an equally, if not stronger, rim than competitors while coming in quite a bit lighter than the rest.

The Revel RW30 rims are available as a rim only for $700, as well as two wheelset options using Industry Nine hubs. The RW30 laced to the Industry Nine 1/1 hub is $1975 and the Industry Nine Hydra hub option is $2200.
