No.9 36w Carbon Boost Wheel - 27.5in

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"On technical descents, the stiffness of the 36w rim really shines—it holds a clean line even when the terrain wants to buck you off. The 30mm inner width gives my tires a great profile for traction and cornering, and at 420g it’s impressively light for something this strong. It’s become my go-to for any big trail ride."

Whisky’s No.9 36w Carbon Boost Wheel is built for riders chasing modern trail performance with precision handling. Featuring a 30mm inner width, these rims support wider tire profiles, giving us improved traction, cornering stability, and confidence on variable terrain. With a 36mm external width and 26mm depth, the balance of lateral stiffness and vertical compliance feels tuned for aggressive riding without compromising comfort on long days.

The hookless, tubeless-ready bead makes tire setup quick and reliable, reducing burping at lower pressures and letting us run wide volume tires with confidence. At just 420g per rim, the No.9 36w offers serious weight savings over comparable alloy models, while delivering the durability required for ASTM condition 3 trail use. Whisky completes the package by including tubeless valves and tape in the box, so we’re ready to build and ride immediately.

Whether we’re tackling long backcountry tours or hammering technical singletrack, the No.9 36w shines as a versatile wheelset that maximizes traction, efficiency, and reliability. For riders who want the precision and performance of carbon in a truly modern width, these wheels bring a blend of lightness and strength that raises the bar for trail performance.
