Bike Ahead Composites - Eurobike 2017

Remember Spinergy, and Mag BMX wheels? Large spoked wheels are not a new concept and carbon versions have never been affordable. This new wheelset from Bike Ahead Composites is hand laid in Veitshöcheim, Germany. The six-spoke biturbo wheels come in an 'RS' model and 'E' version. The heavier biturbo-E wheelset pictured is designed to meet the higher loads associated with eMTB, but still weigh a svelte 1349 grams per pair in 27.5", and 1459 grams in 29".




Boost standards and hub sizes don't affect the design of the biturbo wheels, but all widths are available front and rear including Lefty, RS-1 and standard bolt-thru. Shimano or SRAM XD drivers and 6-bolt or center lock.




If Enve's wheels on King hubs are too popular and too affordable for you, these should fit the bill hitting your wallet with a €3299 price tag.





Bike Ahead also make carbon handlebars and seat posts with NSA technology, not no-strings-attached, but No-Slip Application. The NSA is a rubberized compound that is molded into the carbon and helps to dissipate clamping force, alleviate the need for carbon slip, and prevent any creaking. The bars come in a variety shapes and sizes, including strong back sweeps of 8.5º, 10º and 13º, widths range from 720mm - 800mm. Just like their wheels, saving grams is a focus and weights start at 139g and rise up to 179g. Also just like the wheels, they are not wallet friendly costing €239.
