    So smooth and fast

    I purchased this wheel as an upgrade ahead of a trip to Maydena. While this slightly increased the weight of my bike, it made it feel very solid and indestructible with a wider front tyre.

    The huge difference that this made was the increase in acceleration and speed. This is a great value for money upgrade.

    Get amongst it - this is well worth a look.

    Great wheel at a reasonable price

    Ordered this in a 29" boost 30mm as a replacement to the std 27.5 DT swiss on my Merida. Quick delivery and this wheel is really great!!. Seems strong so far after hitting some pretty decent enduro style trails.
