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.
