The new Revelstoke wheels from Syncros have been entirely redesigned and now feature their best rim technology and approach to carbon layup. The second generation of their trail and enduro wheelset has been updated with a new carbon 30mm internal width rim. As Syncros did for the Silverton 1.0s, the Revelstoke wheels now comes with a shallower design to reduce weight, increasing compliance, comfort and now featuring the DT Swiss internals.
The Ultimate Set for Demanding Trails
The first goal of our new Revelstoke carbon wheels was to create a lighter package for trail riding. Building on the previous generation, we reduced the total weight by 19% to reach 1500g for the Revelstoke 1.0s complete wheelset.
In addition to the weight reduction, our Syncros engineers studied the shape and the carbon layup of the rim, as well as mass distribution and lateral stiffness, to come up with an optimal shallower design and a new carbon hookless technology rim. They also increased the hook thickness to have a higher impact resistance on the most demanding trails.
Key Features
The new Revelstoke range comes in two options. The 1.0s and the 1.0. Same carbon rim for both and same spokes number (28), but different specifications.
The 1.0s features DT Swiss 240s hubs with Ratchet EXP 36 technology and DT Swiss Aerolite spokes and Pro Lock nipples. The 1.0 offers DT Swiss 370 hubs and Syncros spokes and nipples.
