LIGHTWEIGHT - ENDURANCE - GRAVEL
- The 1.3 and 1.4 are low profiled and light weight for climbing.
- The 1.4-X is the do it all endurance, bike packing & gravel wheelset.
TT-TRI - AERO
For extra speed on the road, time trail or triathlon there are the SONIC 45|55 and SONIC DISC.
- The SONIC 45|55 is a 45mm and 55mm rim depth for better aerodynamics at low weight for everyday use.
- The SONIC DISC is a disc wheel that can be matched with a 45mm, 55mm or 60mm front wheel.
Maximum speed at a combined weight at less than 1900gr.
MOUNTAIN BIKE
SUB XC SL and XC are (29" only) for marathon and cross country racing.
The rims feature a 27mm internal width, a-symetric design for a lightweight and strong wheelset.
FAQ
Why SUB wheels start: The name is founded in low weight and price. In the cycling world when talking about weights or
times it always in SUB xKg´s or hours and minutes. In a world full of aero wheels and discbrake bikes the weights of bikes have gone up.
It was time to set a new path to take the weights back down. The 1.3 is a great example of a lightweight discbrake wheel set that can
take the mordern tyre widths at 1275 grams. Quickly followed the 1.4, XC SL and XC to have a lightweight offering for on and off road at different prices. The 1.4-X was made for all types of riding. Wether its gravel, endurance or bike packing the 1.4-X can do it all.
Last but not least to arrive were the SONIC 45|55 and the SONIC disc for a aero offering in the range.
Why are there no deeper profile: The SUB wheel range are lightweight focused road climbing, gravel and cross country wheels.
Deeper rims = more weight and therefor the max rim depth on the majority of wheels are 30mm or less.
Aside the lower weight a lower rim also offers better acceleration, handling and comfort.
The SUB SONIC and SONIC DISC are a more aero option for those who want the speed at the price for a little more weight.
Why use a a-symetrical V.S. a symetrical rim: The SUB 1.4-X, XC SL and XC use asymetrical rims.
This way we can build a stronger wheel with a more equal spoke tention.
Build for a more stable wheel to handle the rougher terain during bike packing, gravel or cross country riding.
Why are there no options with the DT-swiss 180 hubs: The weight difference between the 240exp and the 180
is very minimal versus the upshot in price difference.
Why is the max width 27mm internal on the XC SL and XC:
The rims for the XC SL and XC are choosen between the 2 current trends of 25mm and 30mm internal rim widths.
27mm beeing closer to the 30mm and it works very well with the current tyre options of 2.25 up to 2.40.
HOOKED V.S. HOOKLESS: The big wheel debate is whats best and the answer is it depents, we use both options.
Our XC SL and XC are HOOKLESS because of the lower tyre presures and higher impact recistance.
Our SUB 1.3, 1.4, 1.4-X and SONIC are HOOKED rims to keep the tyres secured to the rim and to keep the choice of tyres open.
HOOKLESS rims are limited to a few makes of tyres and are limited to 70psi/5bar tyre presure.
Above this presure you can run the risk of the tyre popping of the rim v.s. a HOOKED rim can safely take up to 120psi/8bar.
