When engineering a new wheelset, the first consideration is always the rims. For the Marvel II series, we started from the ground up. After listening to valuable feedback from our riders, we decided to create rims with wider tires in mind. Marvel II’s 31mm external rim widths are aerodynamically optimized for 28c and 40c tires. To take things further, we chose inner rim widths of 23mm, leading to an ideal tire shape that maximizes grip and comfort, while minimizing rolling resistance. We design, manufacture, and test our own resin, carbon pre-preg, and rims, allowing us to ensure our rims are of the highest quality and are free of voids and wrinkles.

What makes our clincher, tubeless-ready rims unique is that we use a reduced hook design. We see the benefits and drawbacks of standard hooked as well as hookless rims and have found a way to offer the best of both worlds. Our ETRTO-compliant reduced hooks allow for the aerodynamic, durability, and optimal tire shape that hookless rims provide with the security, tire compatibility, and ability to run higher pressures that a clincher can offer.

Additionally, our rims feature in our exclusive UNI technology. It offers wider and more modern inner widths, making them compatible with wider tires for enhanced performance and versatility.
