Frequently asked questions
Are these wheels compatible with modern Boost-spaced forks?
Yes, the Next R 36 wheels are fully compatible with modern frames and forks. They offer versatile axle options, including the standard 15 x 110 mm Boost spacing for front wheels, ensuring a secure and stiff fit for aggressive trail riding.
Are these wheels stiff enough for heavy e-bike use?
Yes, the Next R 36 wheelset is specifically engineered to handle the demands of E-MTB, All-Mountain, and Trail riding. The combination of high-grade UD carbon and the stiff Vault hub provides the structural integrity and power transfer required for heavier, high-torque e-bike applications.
Is the carbon construction durable for aggressive terrain?
Yes, the unidirectional carbon fiber rim is engineered specifically for high-performance All-Mountain riding. It offers an ideal balance of low weight for efficient climbing and extreme durability for rugged trail use. These wheels are built to withstand demanding conditions, including:
- Massive jumps and drops
- Hectic rock gardens
- Steep, technical terrain
- High-intensity downhill racing
The offset spoke layout further improves tension balance, resulting in a stiffer, more responsive wheel that maintains its integrity even under heavy stress.
Can I use these wheels with Super Boost frame spacing?
Absolutely. The Vault hub is designed for versatility and is compatible with 12 x 157 Super Boost spacing, as well as standard 15 x 110 Boost spacing. When ordering, ensure you select the axle configuration that matches your specific frame requirements.
Can these wheels handle heavy downhill racing usage?
Yes, the Next R 36 wheels are specifically engineered for the rigors of aggressive All-Mountain and downhill riding. They are built to withstand intense terrain, including rock gardens, jumps, and steep descents, while maintaining a lightweight profile for efficient climbing.
Key features that support this durability include:
- Unidirectional Carbon Construction: Designed to provide an ideal balance of extreme strength and stiffness.
- Optimized Rim Width: The 36mm internal profile offers superior tire support and stability for 2.4”–2.8” tires, enhancing traction in demanding conditions.
- Reliable Spoke Engineering: The 3X lacing pattern with double-butted straight-pull spokes ensures high-tension strength and wheel integrity under heavy stress.
- Vault Hub: Known for high performance and reliability, this hub is built to handle the demands of modern trail and e-bike riding.
How does the offset spoke layout improve wheel performance?
The 4.5 mm offset spoke layout is purposefully engineered to improve spoke tension balance between the drive and non-drive sides. By equalizing the tension, the wheel achieves a higher level of structural stiffness and responsiveness. This design ensures the rim maintains its integrity under high loads, providing a more stable and reliable ride during aggressive trail riding, technical descents, and jumps.
