This is the rim behind our Avalon 454 SL wheelset: hookless, 24mm internal — the widest rim in the Avalon range — and rated for tires from 28mm up to 42mm. That width is what lets a wider tire run well at lower pressure, exactly what endurance riding on rough roads and cobbles calls for, without the depth or stagger of our dedicated aero wheels. The ART asymmetric rim design keeps spoke tension even front and rear.
45mm deep and hand built in the Netherlands to the same standard as every 9th Wave rim, this is a good starting point if you’re building your own wheelset around a hub of your choice. Read more about the thinking behind this rim in our journal article, or see it built up as a complete wheelset in the Avalon 454 SL.
Building this rim into your own wheelset? Read how independent wheel builders like TRUST Cycles and BikeWheels put these rims to use in our journal article, or find a wheel builder near you on our dealer page.
