Looking for a wheelset that blends cutting-edge technology with a touch of artistry? The limited-edition collaboration between Tune and Tekkerz delivers just that. This wheelset isn’t just about speed; it’s a statement. Let’s explore what makes these wheels stand out from the crowd.
A New Standard in Hub Technology
At the heart of these wheels lie Tune’s brand-new Nano hubs. these versatile hubs are designed to excel across disciplines - road,gravel,and even mountain biking.They borrow heavily from the design of Tune’s flagship Yokto hubs, offering a similar conical design and straight-pull spoke flanges.
Despite the advanced engineering,the Nano hubs remain impressively lightweight,tipping the scales at just 290 grams each. You’ll experience a responsive ride without sacrificing durability.
Engagement and Bearing Options
Rear Nano hubs feature a refined three-pawl internal mechanism. Stock engagement comes in at 69 points, translating to roughly 5 degrees of engagement. Though, you can upgrade to a remarkably fast 138-point system, reducing engagement to just 2.6 degrees.
Furthermore, you have the adaptability to choose between durable standard steel bearings or upgrade to high-performance ceramic Enduro XD15 bearings for even smoother rolling and reduced friction.
A Refreshing Aesthetic
Forget the ubiquitous black wheelset. Tune breaks the mold with a striking silver finish. The hubs, Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes, and spoke nipples all share this elegant silver hue. This design choice offers a refined look that’s sure to turn heads.
