This model offers a combination you won't find anywhere else — racing
lightness and comfort that you'll appreciate even after many hours in the
saddle. Ultralight polymer Berd PolyLight spokes significantly dampen vibrations
and reduce rotating mass, so the bike responds immediately, but at the same time
does not tire even during all-day rides.
SL carbon rims give the whole set confidence, stiffness and precision, while EIE EM 285 hubs guarantee smooth and reliable operation. Thanks to this combination, a set is created that is fast on climbs, calm on technical sections and comfortable on endless crossings.
An ideal choice not only for XC and marathon runners, but also for bikepacking enthusiasts who want light, comfortable and reliable bikes for a long time days in the field.
This rim stands out for its excellent weight-to-strength ratio and in the SL version it is one of our best-selling MTB rims. In 2025, this rim has an innovative shape and the main improvement is the bead, which has been widened from 3 mm to 3.5 mm, making the rim very durable while maintaining a low weight. Thanks to the low height of 20 mm, this rim is also a bit "flexible", which consequently contributes to its durability.
The rims in the Super Light (SL) version combine low weight with high strength, making them a universal choice for demanding cyclists. Thanks to the optimized design, they provide a better weight-to-stiffness ratio, which increases performance when climbing and accelerating. A great solution for both sports and recreational riding. The rims in this version have a weight limit of 100 kg.

Berd PolyLight are some of the lightest spokes on the market. They are made of an advanced polymer material that offers an unbeatable weight-to-strength and vibration damping ratio. Compared to traditional steel spokes, they are up to 50% lighter, while maintaining exceptional tensile strength and high fatigue resistance. Thanks to their design, they significantly reduce the rotational weight of the wheel, which will be appreciated by road and MTB racers, as well as demanding hobby riders.
Berd PolyLight spokes bring increased riding comfort, as the polymer material effectively absorbs micro-vibrations from the terrain. They are resistant to corrosion and chemicals and do not require any special maintenance. Each spoke is handmade in the USA with an emphasis on precision and quality. They are compatible with most common hubs and rims and are an ideal choice for those looking to take their bike's performance to the next level.

Sapim Alu Double Square Secure Lock are top-of-the-line aluminum nipples designed for maximum spoke strength and stability. Thanks to their special construction with a double square profile, they allow for more precise centering and even distribution of spoke tension, which contributes to a longer wheel life.
The patented Secure Lock system prevents nipples from loosening spontaneously, which helps maintain spoke tension even under extreme loads. The low weight of the aluminum alloy contributes to the overall reduction of the wheel's weight, which will be appreciated especially by racers and performance-oriented riders.
Thanks to their precise processing and high corrosion resistance, Sapim Alu Double Square Secure Lock nipples are the ideal choice for road, gravel and MTB bikes, where the emphasis is on low weight, strength, and reliability of the spoke.
