Race Face Turbine R 30 29″ wheels.
These are amazing and my favourite part of the bike.
I’ve always struggled with wheel issues and was looking for a DT 350 wheel set for this build.
However, the Manager of The Bike Shop (who is also a Sasquatch mountain biker) recommended these. I’m glad he did.
They are well made, the hubs are high quality, and they’re stiff. Tubeless tires seal using a normal, manual floor pump with zero hassle!
After several significant hits they are still running laser-sharp.
I cannot say enough good things about these wheels and will be featuring them in a future review.
The bike came stock with WTB tires: Vigilante in the front and Trail Boss in the rear.
I have been impressed with the trail performance of both, although the Trail Boss is wearing out faster than any other rear tire I’ve had. This may be a result of being on a hardtail, but I am going with a Maxxis rear tire next season.
I run a Cushcore insert in the rear wheel and a Nukeproof ARD in the front.
