Ellsworth XC Wheelset
The optimal wheels for your Truth, Epiphany or other XC ride, Ellsworths XC wheels feature 24 spokes with special 2 cross lacing and Ellsworths patented Quad Butted Spokes. Our spoke design minimizes windup from breaking and pedaling with the least amount of spoke mass. Compatible with the standard QR and the new 15mm QR, these are the only wheels youll need for XC riding or racing. The XC rims are Ellsworths proprietary, 29mm wide, tapered wall rim that is extruded from xxx9 Aluminum. Ellsworths 29mm rim weighs the same as other manufacturers 23mm wide rims but gives you the extra strength, durability and control of a wider rim. The XC rims higher width to weight ratio also provides a larger contact patch between your tire and the ground for the same amount of weight. And since xxx9 Taper wall aluminum weighs less than rubber, you can save additional rolling weight by running a narrower tire while still getting the traction and control of a wider, heavier tire.
