Sprightly enough for 200 mile of gravel, resilient enough for daily trail riding, the WTB KOM Light i21 combines high-end performance and tubeless dependability in one of the lightest WTB alloy rims.
Features
21 mm inner rim width is best suited for road and commuter bikes with narrow tires of 30 mm or less
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
