HTZ i30 27.5" TCS 2.0 E-Bike Rim, 32 hole, Black, PV

E-bikes add to the riding experience by providing more for less. More distance, more laps, more climbs and more descents. With all those “mores” also comes more weight continually bashing on the components of an e-bike. In order to combat the additional wear and tear of e-bikes, we designed our HTZ rims to be burlier in every imaginable way. The thickest rim walls we offer, a proven I-Beam center support, asymmetrical spoke hole drilling and dependable 6069 aluminum alloy deliver a bombproof rim that doesn't break the bank. HTZ i27 and i30 rims are the perfect choice for your e-assist trail, enduro or downhill bike.

USAGE: E-Bike

WHAT IS AN "E-BIKE" RIM?

HTZ isn't some gimmick where a company slaps the e-bike moniker on a downhill component in hopes of riding the e-bike sales wave. We, and our friends, were simply tearing through rims as we lost track of the laps on our e-bikes. There's no denying that the additional weight of, and resulting forces exerted by, e-bikes are substantially more than traditional analog bikes. We needed rims that prioritized durability first-and-foremost with weight being so unimportant that we didn't even set a weight target. We simply needed rims that wouldn't let up under any circumstances on any bike. In the end, HTZ is the most bombproof rim you can buy for your e-bike.

ALUMINUM ALLOY WORKHORSE

Carbon fiber is often presented as the superior material, but it isn't necessarily best for every application. Carbon is strong until it isn't, and those "isn't" moments are generally the extremely heavy hits where everything bottoms out and any material proves to be weaker than rock. With the additional weight of e-bikes, riders often compensate with excessively high tire pressures or those heavy hits are happening far more often. Aluminum alloy does an excellent job of taking one for the team and absorbing those massive impacts. Oh yeah, it's also easier on the wallet, so you can spend less time working and more time riding.
