Carbondale, Colorado-based Revel Bikes (co-creators of Why Cycles) just released Revel Wheels. The 29mm internal width carbon rims are made in America, 100% recyclable, and claimed to be lighter and stronger than others on the market. Revel’s rims are made from an all new Fusion-Fiber™ technology developed and manufactured in an aerospace facility in southern Utah. According to the company, the manufacturing process uses no environmentally harmful or brittle epoxy and can be fully recycled into other parts. Revel claims the high performance composite polymer also makes for a significantly more durable, lighter, and better riding wheel with a nice damped feel. Find the specs, pics, and a great launch video below.
Revel has rims and wheels available now in 27.5 and 29”. The RW30 is an enduro/trail rated rim. The 27.5 rim weighs 440 grams and the 29er weighs 470 grams. Revel worked with our friends at Industry Nine and all complete Revel wheels are built with either I9 1/1 or Hydra hubs and Sapim D-light spokes.
