Premium Alloy Rims

Crafted from advanced T6 6069 aluminum alloy, the Ultima SL rims achieve the perfect balance of strength, lightweight performance, and ride compliance. With a 20mm internal width, they are designed to pair seamlessly with 28mm–32mm tires.

Running tires in this range increases volume,
providing a more stable and comfortable ride while reducing rolling resistance for greater efficiency. The wider setup flattens the contact patch, enhancing grip, control, and overall handling.
