Endurance test: A-Class wheels
The wheels proved what they are capable of on endless trails and an Alpine crossing and showed no weaknesses.

Only a few scratches on the heavy aluminium rim and torn stickers bear witness to the hard use over the past few months. With a rim width of a proud 23.2 millimetres, my 2.4 tyres came out nice and voluminous. The industrial bearings of the hubs are running like new. Even after more than 1000 kilometres, the rims have no lateral or radial runout, so I didn't have to tighten any of the 28 spokes at the front or rear. Practical: The wheelset can be converted to all common axle standards (QR15 thru axle, quick release, X12).


CONCLUSIONversatile all-mountain and enduro wheelset,
that can really take a beating.
