We've dialed up the rowdiness factor of our Shift 30EM by giving these carbon mountain bike wheels a mullet-style setup – 29-inch front wheel for that speed demon momentum and a burly 27.5-inch rear wheel for maximum maneuverability and agility. It's like having a monster truck and a sports car all rolled into one!

Technology
Radial Crossply
Carbon fiber layup uniquely engineered for durability and performance.
NXS Design
No excess: wheel design to reduce weight while increasing strength and performance. The theory is simple: more material where you need it and less where you don't.
Tubeless ready
Complete with rim tape, valve stem, and easy to seed bead walls.
FUSIONFIBER®
Made with long-chain polymers instead of the brittle, toxic epoxies and resins of typical carbon fiber. To put it simply, FORGE + BOND wheels perform better, are more durable, and better for the environment.
