Wide runs well: Sram's "Roam 60" wheelset

"Wide is fast" is Sram's motto, and it immediately translates this message into a brand new wheelset. The "Roam 60" rolling stock is designed with an inner rim width of 30 millimetres to ensure plenty of traction and grip. It goes without saying that the new wheels feature Boost dimensions and 27.5 inches, in line with the latest trends.

30 millimeter inner width on the carbon rim and weights from 1627 grams: The Sram 60 wheelset designed for trail and enduro use

In its lightest configuration, the new Roam 60 wheelset from Sram weighs in at a remarkably modest 1627 grams (750 grams for the front wheel, 875 grams for the rear wheel). Included are a carbon rim with UD fiber with an inner width of 30 millimetres, 24 butted, double-crossed spokes measuring 2/1.8/2 millimetres each and aluminium nipples that hold the spokes in the rim for low inertia.

With different end caps, the regular wheelset (rear 12x142mm) can be made fit for quick release, 15x100mm and 20x110mm on the front wheel. In the second basic configuration of the wheelset, the axle width is kept in Boost dimensions in line with the current trend. To ensure that there is something to suit all tastes and color set-ups of the bikes, Sram includes a sticker pack that provides six color nuances.

Sram is launching new hubs for (almost) all conceivable installation width dimensions (we should avoid talking about standards here). The wheel centers are simply called "900 Hubs" and have these specification options:
