    Front-end Compliance

    Synthesis Enduro Carbon front rims feature a bespoke rim profile, internal width, and carbon layup to provide lateral and vertical compliance characteristics where you need it most. Plow through rock gardens and root sections with increased directional control and reduced unwanted torsional feedback through the handlebars. And, a wider internal 31.5mm internal width allows for a large tire contact patch, resulting in more grip and confidence on the trail.
    Rear-end Stability

    Rear-end Stability

    Synthesis Enduro Carbon rear rims feature a reinforced rim profile and carbon layup to provide additional stiffness and stability when loaded hard into corners, and also results in a robust wheel with superior impact resistance. A slimmed down internal width of 29.5mm allows for a fast-rolling tire profile relative to the front rim for pedaling efficiency.
