Crosstrail SL 29in Wheel

The Crosstrail SL 29 wheel runs asymmetric rim and spoke specs front to rear, a deliberate load-based split rather than a symmetric build. Up front, a 22mm rim height and 24 spokes in a 2-cross pattern keep the wheel light and quick to turn in. Out back, a 25mm rim height and 28 spokes in a 3-cross pattern add the stiffness needed to handle enduro-level impact. FORE construction threads the spoke nipples straight into the rim bridge rather than drilling through it, and Black Shield treatment adds a layer of protection against rock strikes on both ends.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I've put this wheel through rock gardens and root beds all season and the surface coating takes the hits so the rim structure underneath doesn't have to. That's the difference between swapping a wheel mid-season and running the same one through it."
