Silverton 1.5 Rear Wheel

The Silverton 1.5 wheelset, named after the famous Ski and MTB town in Colorado at the foot of the Rockies, has a different take on what an XC wheel should be.

Built around a Syncros alloy hub featuring sealed cartridge bearings and 28 straight-pull spokes, the wide alloy rim profile suits a wide range of wide trail tyres giving you a stable and consistent ride, even when pushing hard, and they offer great tubeless tyre security and pinch flat protection. The 28 spoke design is said to improve compliance and reduce vibrations transferred to the rider and reviews we've read would tend to agree.

At 1850g for the pair, the Silverton 1.5 wheelset is a great lightweight all-rounder with a high-performance mind-set, and versatile durability at its core.
