Crankbrothers Synthesis E-MTB Alloy - 29 Inch Rear Wheel - Shimano Micro Spline - 6-Bolt - 12x148mm

Synthesis E-Bike Alloy 29" - Control & Stability for E-MTB Riding

Top performance for the entry-level class with the tuned high-end Synthesis aluminium wheel system. Stiff tuned rear wheel supports peak loads and enhances stability and tracking at speed. With the wider rim base, this version is specifically designed for Electric Mountain Bikes (but is also suitable for other 29 inch MTB). Particularly with regard to the higher weight of an E-Mountain Bike, the wide, large-volume 29" tyres provide a noticeable plus in traction, comfort, controllability and safety.

Details of the Crankbrothers Synthesis Alloy Wheels

Crankbrothers is proud to launch its Synthesis Alloy Wheel Range, bringing its game-changing front and rear specific tuned wheel concept to an aluminum wheel set. Crankbrothers Synthesis Wheels take a new approach to wheel systems, focusing on combining a compliant front wheel with a stiff rear wheel to achieve optimal ride characteristics for each.

The compliant front wheel improves handling and control in turns, while the 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.

Crankbrothers Boost Wheels

This Boost version of the Synthesis wheel positively effects the physics of your wheel. Its wider hub results in a stiffer and stronger wheel. Centrifugal forces can be absorbed more easily. Another advantage is the bigger space between rim and chain which allows for wider tires than on non-boost wheels.
