Race Face Turbine R Wheels were designed and built to be a wheel that meets the needs of riders that need a wheel strong enough for all mountain and trail riding while being light enough for XC.
The
Turbine R Wheels use a rim that is based on the Arc 30 rim with a 30mm internal width and a tubeless bead that grips the tire even at lower pressures.
Turbine rims use a stronger alloy than the Arc giving them the strongest impact resistance of any
Race Face or Easton rim. Turbine rims are offset by 4.5mm to provide more even tension and adds stiffness to the
Turbine R Wheels. Not only are the
Turbine R Wheels tubeless-ready, Race Face takes it a step further and pre-tapes and installs the valves so that all you have to do is add sealant and go!
Turbine R Wheels use Race Face's Vault hubs with straight pull spokes and larger oversized 6902 bearing with dual seals to help keep them clean and rolling fast. Tool-free end caps allow you to quickly service the bearings or switch between axle styles. Vault hubs have oversized spoke flanges that utilize straight pull spokes with a counterbore that prevents the spokes from binding.
Turbine R Rear Wheels feature an upgraded 6-pawl freehub body that has 3-pawls engaged at all times for a really quick pick up of 3 degrees. Turbine R Rear Wheels are available in your choice of Shimano HG or SRAM XD freehubs.
Race Face Turbine R wheels with the Shimano HG freehub body are compatible with Shimano/SRAM 8/9/10-speed cassettes and Shimano 11-speed mountain cassettes. It will not fit SRAM or Shimano 11-road cassettes.
XD versions of the
Race Face Turbine R wheels are compatible with SRAM 11-speed XD and 12-speed Eagle cassettes.
