PUSH YOUR LIMITS TO THE HIGHEST PEAKSNo doubt the RAW 33 will make you perform like the king of the mountains. Every detail is driven to ride faster, easier and more efficient. Especially when it goes uphill. First of all we mention the low weight of only 1350 grams for the pair of wheels.Next to the low weight the carbon spokes deliver perfect balanced stiffness which forces the wheels to move fast forward when standing on the pedals.CUSTOM HUBS WITH CERAMICSPEED INSIDECarbon spokes ask for a special hub design. These level of wheels ask for ceramic bearings. For our custom designed hubs we partnered with CeramicSpeed.CeramicSpeed bearings elevate the performance of the wheels in terms of weight, durability and minimum rolling resistance. As usual this FFWD hub always has an internal ratchet system which enriches the level of performance.Completely new in this top notch family is the option to choose your finish. Within the minimalistic design you can choose an classic matt or exclusive and realy stylish glossy finish. Depending on the best combination with your bike or personal preference you can make yourself really stand out.

Front-end ComplianceSynthesis XCT Carbon front rims feature a bespoke rim profile, internal width, and carbon layup to provide lateral and vertical compliance characteristics where you need it most. Plow through rock gardens and root sections with increased directional control and reduced unwanted torsional feedback through the handlebars. And, a wider internal 26.5mm internal width allows for a large tire contact patch, resulting in more grip and confidence on the trail.Rear-end StabilitySynthesis XCT Carbon rear rims feature a reinforced rim profile and carbon layup to provide additional stiffness and stability when loaded hard into corners, and also results in a robust wheel with superior impact resistance. A slimmed down internal width of 24.5mm allows for a fast-rolling tire profile relative to the front rim for pedaling efficiency.Ultra-Quick EngagementOur 11-series Synthesis wheels feature Industry Nine's revolutionary Hydra hubs, with a near-instantaneous 0.52° engagement to tackle technical climbs and transfer power to the trail without hesitation. Produced from start to finish in Asheville, North Carolina, Hydra hub shells, axles and endcaps are machined from bar stock 7075-T6 and feature high-quality Enduro® sealed cartridge bearings. It's groundbreaking pawl-based drive system is precision crafted from hardened A2 tool steel. Finally, a gloss-black anodization process with laser-etched Crankbrothers and Industry Nine logos keep things classy. Quality ComponentsAll Synthesis wheels are crafted with quality J-bend spokes from Sapim that are hand-selected for each wheel system's intended riding application - in the case of our XCT 11 wheel system, we choose Sapim's bladed CX-Ray spokes front and rear for compliance and weight savings without skimping on strength.
