Item # ETR001OTRS Boost Wheel 27.5in
If you're looking for burly aluminum wheels that withstand the rigors of aggressive trail riding and enduro, all without costing a fortune, you can find solace in the TRS Boost Wheel from e*thirteen. The TRS rim has been improved upon from the previous generation, with a wider 30mm internal width to accommodate modern trail tires, and thicker sidewalls that are 6x stronger in impact tests than their predecessor. The hubs are TRS Race SL, with a durable 660 stainless steel freehub delivering 6-degree engagement for a quick pedal response that's especially noticeable on techy climbs or mashing out of corners to regain speed. The hub shell uses all-aluminum construction for a good balance of strength and weight, with angular contact bearings for a smooth ride and exceptional durability.

Guillaume L.Not impressed so far
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These came on my Mojo 3....the front hub bearings are shot after 3 months. For some reason I could not get any tires to install properly and the bead never sat tight against the rim, which made tubeless a problem not to mention tire wobble.
Dave ValleauBulletproof!

I have beaten the s**t out of these rims and they are still true and undented. I'm a fairly big guy and have heard big rocks, stumps and roots bang of these and no problems. would definitely buy these again and highly recommend.
Jonny HeinkenNice
Newly improved for 2018, the E.13 TRS is a great AM/trail MTB wheelset -especially for $550.
*Strong 6061 alloy rim (with sleeved joint).
*1,800g total wheelset weight.
*30mm internal rim width. Perfect for 2.4-2.5" wide tires.
*Tubeless-ready (of course).
*New, all-aluminum, CNC machined SL hub.
*Tall hub flanges increase spoke triangulation and wheel stiffness.
*Good warranty (5 years).
*Very quick 6°/60 point freehub engagement.
*All for $550 total.
And I love the i30 rim size.
Perfect for running 2.5" tires. Like... Maxxis Minion DHF 27.5 x 2.5 WT on the front wheel and Maxxis Aggressor 27.5 x 2.5 WT on the rear (or DHR II on the rear for enduro). It's a GREAT combination.
The wheelset has been bombproof so far. My only concern is the reliability of the hub internals/seals. Six months in (including Winter riding)... so far, so good. I'll report back if any problems.
SeanHey, I'm thinking of making upgrades, would you say these are tubeless ready?
That sounds more like an issue with the tires and not rims. I had 3 sets of wobbly tire bead Maxxis. It's a rampant problem....
