This is a wheel that’s been used by the greatest champions in the history of downhill racing. Since its debut in the mid-1990s through today, it has constantly evolved—and this is the latest edition. Developed with input from pro racers - including Troy Brosnan who rode it to a 2017 World Cup win in Andorr - it’s one of the lightest downhill wheelsets ever produced, and it’s built with the strength and durability to handle big hits and extreme race conditions. Recognizable with its trademark yellow graphics, the alloy rim is now wider with a 28mm internal width and constructed using our patented ISM weight reduction technology. This means the weight of the rim is reduced for better acceleration and handling with zero compromises to rim strength. The 28 straight-pull steel spokes are double-butted and bladed for the perfect amount of vertical compliance and strength to handle the abuses of DH racing. The ITS-4 freehub, with 4 pawls and only 7.5° between engaged positions, helps you accelerate out of corners faster. Deemax is compatible with multiple axle standards and comes delivered with a 20mm front thru-axle. The DH-specific rear hub has 157mm spacing and can be easily convert to 150mm with optional adaptors. The Deemax DH is available in 27.5" and ships with UST tubeless valves and accessories.
