This straight-aligned, 4-pawl design turns the 26-tooth ratchet ring into 52 points of contact. The result: smooth 6.9-degree engagement without reducing tooth size or offsetting internal geometry\u2014which means serious long-term durability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speedball<\/strong><br \/>The only adjustment they\u2019ll ever need was made back at the factory. Every part of the ball bearing comes from the exact same supplier\u2014which means that each bearing bore can be precision machined to fit the bearing race exactly. With tolerances this tight, the days of adjusting play after every ride are over.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solo Spoke<\/strong><br \/>With Solo Spoke, you\u2019re never wrong. SRAM wheel design eliminates the need for different spoke lengths\u2014one size fits the entire wheel. This identical-length design means no longer wondering whether you have the right front\/rear\/drive-side\/ nondrive-side spoke handy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taper Core<\/strong><br \/>Strong in the right places. The sidewalls of SRAM rims are reinforced along the wings to withstand major impact. But the sidewalls then taper in along the centre\u2014reducing overall mass. The result is a very light rim with excellent dent resistance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wide Angle<\/strong><br \/>Take corners as fast as you want. SRAM wheels have a wider rim profile without significant added mass. This profile holds tire shape better, preventing tire roll and giving you superior<br \/>comfort and traction around corners.<\/p>\n<p><strong>XD Drive Body<\/strong><br \/>XD is a cassette driver body design that allows the use of a 10-tooth small cog and provides an improved interface with the cassette.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BOOST<\/strong><br \/>BOOST is a new wheel and drivetrain specification that provides: increased wheel stiffness and durability, better riding efficiency and bike handling precision, improved frame geometry with shorter chain stays, wider and stiffer suspension pivots, wider range of chainring options, more clearance for bigger tires.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">International recommended retail pricing<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-95409900-1430474478.jpg\" data-fileid=\"524589\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"524589\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-95409900-1430474478.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-95409900-1430474478.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You don\u2019t win by being the lightest.
