The Spank 359 Vibrocore rear wheel is the wheel for the fastest of racers!
Built for riders wanting to push the limits of Mountain biking.
This wheel is trusted by UCI Downhill World Cup racers such as Tracey Hannah and Remi Thirion.
Here’s a closer look at the ultimate DH World Cup racing wheel;
- A low profile and a wide width rim provides the perfect balance between radial compliance and lateral stiffness. All this giving you a buttery-smooth and highly predictable ride feel, improved traction over bumps with reduced negative feedback. This truly maximises the performance and comfort of the rider.
- That same rim is also injected with Spanks Award-Winning Vibrocore. Designed to reduce the dreaded arm pump by dampening the vibrations from the ground to the rider. While also increasing the fatigue life of the rim.
- A 30.5mm inner rim width is extremely versatile, fitting 2.0” to 2.6” tires. Even allowing +sized tire use without negatively squaring off their profile.
- Laced to the rim is Spank’s new HEX Drive Hub with a 102 tooth, 6 pawl ratchet for a 3.5-degree engagement. For almost instant power to the cranks, meaning faster out the start gate and out of turns, while feeling really solid through rough terrain.
- With Bead Bite tubeless hooks to enhance tubeless performance and tire security, even when running lower pressures.
