Levitas 84W Carbon Fat Bike Rim - 26"

The 45NRTH Levitas 84W Carbon Fat Bike Rim is a purpose-built 26" carbon fat rim shaped around the real casing behavior of modern 45NRTH fat tires, targeting a broad, well-supported tire profile for confident handling in soft snow and variable winter surfaces. With an internal width tuned for flotation and cornering support, plus a narrowed spoke bed and reinforced rim walls, it balances weight control with the impact resistance fat bikes demand.

What matters on snow and ice

1. 84W internal-width platform - Supports a wide, stable tire profile for consistent contact patch, improving traction and control when the surface gets loose or rutted
2. Optimized for 4–5" tires - Keeps large-volume tires properly supported to reduce tire squirm and help maintain predictable steering at low pressures
3. Carbon rim with reinforced rim walls - Adds strength and impact resistance where fat rims typically take hits, without the weight penalty of overbuilt alloy designs
4. Narrower spoke bed - Trims material where it’s least needed, helping keep wheel builds responsive for long winter rides
5. 32-hole drilling - A proven pattern for strong, serviceable fat bike wheel builds intended for demanding conditions
6. Clear setup limits and service guidance - 30 psi max; recommended single layer of 30mm rim tape and 65mm+ valve length; tested to ASTM Category 3 with a suggested 300 lb weight limit
