An exclusive design for Rodeo rims, designed and manufactured with proprietary molds
For at least 3 years and thousands of kilometers we have mistreated these wheels.
We wanted to make sure they endured the rigors of graveler life. With these wheels we raced on the road, gravel and on MTB tracks. We raced on pebbles, rock gardens, snow, stairs, in rain and sun and on any other terrain and place we could come across.
The result is a fantastic combination of lightness and robustness.
Rodeo 2.0 rims have an exclusive design thanks to the creation with well-defined molds and well-defined technical specifications. They are characterized by a particular and exclusive design and are tubeless compatible.
The rims come in the standard 28-hole version, we prefer to use Sapim Race spokes in our assemblies, and we use the Bitex hubs with Rodeo 2.0 customized Centerlock connection;
front axle 15 mm axle – rear axle 12 mm.
Rodeo 2.0 wheels are available in sizes 700C and 650B.
Hub available in three different colours:
– Dark grey / gunmetal
– Light blue
– Pink
– Gold
After testing version 1.0 satisfactorily, we collected positive and negative impressions to be able to design the current version by creating new molds for our 2.0 rims. The product has been patented and to make it unmistakable, like our bicycles, we have engraved the RODEO logo on the surface of the rim.
The 2.0 rim has a 24mm wide inner channel designed to pair well with road and adventure tires. Wide tires (we have tested the sizes from 25 mm to 48 mm) require a large surface in order to guarantee stable performance at different pressures. We designed our 2.0 rims with a depth of 30 mm, believing that this size is an excellent mix between impact resistance and lightness compared to rims with higher profile, in driving conditions on gravel and road.
We collaborated with Bitex to customize the hubs and match them to our rims. We have tested a wide range of hubs during the 24 months of design and found in Bitex, a supplier capable of providing an incredible balance between performance, weight and price, rivaling many more expensive hubs on the market.
