Inner rim width

The inner width of the rim has a major impact on the riding characteristics of a bike, especially off-road. EIE rims offer lightness and versatility thanks to advanced materials. From lightweight rims for XC and marathon, to universal models for trail and enduro, to robust variants for downhill - every rider will find the ideal solution for their style and riding conditions.

The inner width of the rim is a crucial parameter influencing how the bike behaves off-road. Thanks to EIE's advanced manufacturing and high-quality materials, it is possible to achieve an exceptional combination of low weight and broad usability. Here are three main categories covering the needs of most MTB riders:


XC and Marathon

Lightweight rims up to 30 mm wide improve stability and grip, especially with 2.2–2.4-inch tires. The ideal choice for fast, demanding XC races and marathons with technical sections.

Trail and Enduro

The versatile 28–35 mm width provides confidence on trails and during aggressive descents. Suitable for 2.4–2.6-inch tires, combining traction and handling. Perfect for all-round riders.

Downhill

Rims measuring 35–39 mm wide are designed for 2.6–3-inch tires. They provide stability and control under high loads, making them ideal for the toughest tracks and extreme descents.
