Description
One of the lightest WTB alloy rims, the KOM Light i23 pairs high-end performance and tubeless dependability. It's sprightly enough for 200 miles of gravel, yet resilient enough for daily trail riding.
Features
23 mm inner rim width is best suited for drop-bar bikes with 32–40 mm tires
Open-cavity rim profile eliminates unnecessary weight while also reducing radial stiffness to create a smoother ride
Crafted from strong, dependable 6069 aluminum alloy to endure daily hammering on your trail bike
4D angled spoke drilling eliminates binding and lateral loading, and disperses tension more evenly over a greater area
Durable nylon TCS Solid Strip lies between the rim and tubeless tape to prevent the tape from pushing into the spoke holes, ensuring a smooth interface between tire and rim
The smooth surface makes it easier to mount a tire by preventing air from escaping around the bead at each indent during inflation
Solid Strip also protects the airtight system from puncture in the case of a broken spoke
TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is a standardized tubeless system designed by WTB to meet international ETRTO standards
TCS components reduce weight, increase traction and virtually eliminate flats for a dependable tubeless system
