Of all the wheel sizes out there, the one that probably benefits the most from carbon fiber construction is the 29er genus. Lowering rotational mass as much as possible on larger wheels can be a game changer on the trail. When SRAM purchased Zipp Speed Weaponry a few years back, it acquired the carbon rim technology needed to develop the high-tech Rise 60 29in Wheel.
It should be noted that Zipp, a longtime (20 plus years) composite component and wheel specialty manufacturing company, has been building carbon rims for road applications for some time now. This know-how is evident in the asymmetric shape and impact-protecting HS resin coating. The asymmetric shape allows SRAM to use near-equal length spokes, creating a stronger complete structure. The rim's layers and 3K weave are enhanced to provide strength where the nipples place the most stress to ensure reliability.
The Rise 60 uses bladed, stainless steel Sapim CX-Ray spokes because they're strong, aerodynamic, and only weigh a touch more than titanium ones. SRAM uses two-cross lacing with 24 spokes per wheel. This reduced spoke count reduces weight, and the cross-lacing ensures optimal stiffness to resist wheel deflection. The straight pull design eliminates stress-prone bends to which traditional, j-bend spokes are subject.
The hub shell and freehub body are made of lightweight, 6000 series aluminum with sealed cartridge bearings for maximum performance and minimum maintenance. The rear hub uses four bearings and it has an aluminum freehub body to keep weight low. A 54-tooth drive ring gives just under seven degrees of engagement, while three pawls with a saw-tooth profile offer nine points of purchase to give the Rise 60s instant and positive engagement when you stomp on the pedals.
The SRAM Rise 60 29in Wheel is intended for cross-country race and marathon use. While they're not tubeless ready, they are compatible with tubeless conversion kits such as Stan's No Tubes. They're available with standard quick releases or with 15QR front and 12x142mm rear. They are compatible with six-bolt rotors and Shimano or SRAM cassettes.
