Designed to minimize weight while blending stiffness and compliance to maximize power transfer and increase comfort, the WTB CZR i23 wheel is made for adventurous miles on gravel or roads.
Features
Designed to deliver an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio
28 spoke design feature a 3-cross pattern to increase durability while still providing ample radial stiffness due to the additional spokes
3 mm asymmetric spoke offset and 24 mm section depth improve radial stiffness and energy transfer while not being affected by crosswinds like other deeper profile wheels
Frequency hub features a low-drag, 6-pawl design that alternates contact between 2 sets of 3-pawl groupings to provide a responsive 5° of freehub engagement
Lightweight pawl springs minimize drag and therefore improve efficiency for drop bar usage
Reinforced spoke beds improve overall wheel strength and durability while also minimizing weight in areas where less strength, and therefore material, is needed
Lightweight Pillar racing spokes are cold forged into an aerodynamic wing shape that reduces drag at the trailing end of each spoke to improve efficiency
Time-tested Sapim alloy nipples further reduce overall wheel weight while still being durable to hold up to the requirements of gravel riding
Included durable nylon Solid Strip prevents TCS tubeless tape from pushing into the spoke holes and ensures a smooth interface between the tire and rim
This smooth surface also 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
Hooked bead improves tire retention with high-pressure adventure road and gravel tires
