Building on the experience they learned from their 2020 FUSIONFIBER rims, Revel Bikes is showing off its all-new Revel RW30 rim and wheelset.
“Welcome the next generation of Revel Bikes, a fully recyclable, made-in-America, rim. Using a FUSIONFIBER construction achieves best-in-class ride quality, and unlike traditional carbon wheels, FUSIONFIBER rims can be tuned for specific ride quality without compromising stiffness for compliance and vice versa. Finding this balance makes for a quiet, damped ride feel and pushes these rims into a league of their own compared to traditional thermoset carbon rims,” boasts Revel Bikes.
According to Revel Bikes, its engineers were dedicated to making a stronger rim where it matters most, while also keeping the dampening and predictable ride characteristics that the RW30 is renowned for. Optimized for 28 spokes, the new RW30 is bolstered with more material around the spoke holes and less in between each spoke. This increases strength where the spoke meets the rim while keeping weight down for a snappy and precise feel on the trail. By increasing the width of the bead wall (hook) on the new RW30, Revel achieved a 23% increase in impact resistance, requiring significantly more force before damage is seen in the “single hook onset impact test” (One of the most practical tests with real-world representation).
Additionally, a new surface finish, or lack thereof, gives each rim a subdued and stealthy look while showing off the beautiful FUSIONFIBER layup. Each RW30 rim comes out of the mold with its final finish, deterring any harmful paints or epoxies, post-processing, or finishing required to achieve this high gloss look.
The RW30 is a versatile wheelset best suited for Trail and Enduro bikes with 130-160mm of travel and tire sizes ranging from 2.3”-2.6”.
