In 2017, before wide rims were the obvious choice in mountain biking, we launched the original Yarrow 29 with a 29mm internal width. It wasn’t an instant bestseller. It took years, and the rest of the industry gradually catching up to what we’d already built, before wide rims became the standard everyone expected. That’s where 9th Wave’s carbon MTB wheels started, and it’s still where we build from.
The Yarrow SL29 carries that forward at what we’ve found to be the sweet spot for a 29-inch wheel: 32mm internal width. It’s wide enough to properly support the volume of modern XC and marathon tires, and it works just as well for trail riding and light bikepark or enduro use. It isn’t built for downhill or aggressive enduro, where a different kind of wheel is the right tool.
DT Swiss 240 EXP Straight Pull hubs are known for their reliability and can be serviced at almost any bike shop, with an IS/6-bolt rotor interface. A Lefty option is available for the front wheel, for Cannondale frames. 28 spokes front and rear keep the wheelset at 1295g.
The ART asymmetric rim design keeps spoke tension even side to side, for a wheel that holds its shape under load.
This is a wheelset for XC racing, marathon distances, and set routes into the mountains. Hand built in the Netherlands with rim tape and valves installed, and once you register your wheels, the carbon rims are covered for life. Curious why 29-inch wheels still make sense alongside our new 32-inch line? Read our journal article. If you want our own hub and the lightest build we make, the Yarrow SL29 Ninefold uses the same rim at 1065g.
