Front-end ComplianceSynthesis DH Carbon front rims feature a bespoke rim profile 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 31.5mm internal width allows for a large tire contact patch, resulting in more grip and confidence on the track.Rear-end StabilitySynthesis DH 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 31.5mm internal width allows for a large contact patch on the rear tire resulting in increased braking performance, and also provides extra tire sidewall support under load.Ultra-Quick EngagementOur 11-series Synthesis wheels feature Industry Nine's revolutionary Hydra hubs, with a near-instantaneous 0.52° engagement to transfer power to the track 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 DH 11 wheel system, we choose Sapim's bladed CX-Ray model up front to allow for increased lateral compliance, while the slightly thicker CX-Sprint is selected for the rear wheel for added support and durability.

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.

The crankbrothers tuned wheel system now includes an aluminium range.Crankbrothers synthesis wheels take a new approach to wheel systems, focusing on a compliant front wheel with a stiff rear wheel to achieve optimum ride characteristics for each. The compliant front wheel improves handling and control in the turns, while a stiff rear wheel enhances stability and tracking at speed. In the alloy range, these differing characteristics are achieved by variations chosen in spoke tension, spoke weight, spoke count, rim width and rim weight. The range features Enduro, XC/Trail and E-bike models, aiming to accommodate as many riders as possible. There are 2 hub options available on enduro and XCT models - a crankbrothers hub and an i9 1/1 hub, providing 4 degrees of engagement. Enduro and XCT rim only availability also gives the option for custom wheel building.Rear wheel
