NEXTIE ROAD CARBON RIM

Sizes, weights and prices

21 sizes in 700c. Rim weights are Nextie's published figures per size; ERD is the effective rim diameter we cut spokes to.

What the designations mean

Every size in the list carries Nextie's own series code so you can tell the profiles apart. Here is what they mean.

Material and construction

Every size is molded from carbon fiber in Nextie's Xiamen factory, in a UD (unidirectional) weave with a matte finish. Premium is Nextie's all-round layup: a little more material than Supreme for a rim that shrugs off rock strikes and seasons of use. The rim bed is tubeless-ready, and a Nextie Road rim is stiffer laterally than an aluminum rim of the same weight, which is what makes a light carbon wheel feel precise under power. Nextie rates these sizes for a maximum system weight of 136 kg; 137 kg; 139 kg; 141 kg; 142 kg; 144 kg; 146 kg; 147 kg; 149 kg; 151 kg; 152 kg; 154 kg; 156 kg; 159 kg; 162 kg; 163 kg; 164 kg; 167 kg; 169 kg; 171 kg; 174 kg; 181 kg (rider plus bike and gear).

Weight

Weights run from 330g for the 30MM DEEP ARX (23.5MM INNER) to 590g for the 85MM DEEP ARX (23.5MM INNER). Rim weight is rotating weight at the outside of the wheel, so every gram saved here is felt more than a gram saved on the frame. Inner widths of 19mm, 21mm, 22mm, 23.5mm, 25mm decide the tire: narrower beds suit road and gravel tires that want a rounder profile.

Value

Nextie molds its own rims and sells factory-direct, with no distributor or brand-marketing margin built into the price. The material and the construction are the same full carbon fiber, UD layup and tubeless-ready bed found on rims that cost two to three times as much from the big-name brands - the Nextie Road simply skips the layers of mark-up between the mold and your wheel.

Because we sell the Nextie Road only inside a wheel we build, that saving carries through the whole wheel: we lace it to the hub you choose, cut spokes to the measured ERD of the exact size, tension and true it by hand, and stand behind the build. You end up with a hand-built carbon wheel at a price most brands ask for the rim alone, and the current per-size price is always shown live in the configurator.

How we build it

Choose the size and wheel diameter, then a drilling (20h, 24h, 28h, 32h, 36h), and the configurator only offers hubs, spokes and lacing patterns that can actually be built with that combination. Sizes that are not made in a given drilling or diameter are struck through rather than hidden, so you can see the whole range. Use the Custom Wheel Program to start from this rim, or send us a rim you already own with the supply-your-own option.

Build it into a wheel

This rim is live in our Custom Wheel Program for gravel and road disc, track and road single-speed, touring, tandem and e-bike and road rim brake builds. Start a build with the Nextie Road Carbon Rim and the configurator opens with this exact rim pinned at the top of the Nextie list — you choose the rest of the parts and it validates every combination as you go.

Spoke head is decided by the hub, not the rim: this rim builds equally well with J-bend or straight-pull spokes, and the configurator only offers the spokes that match the hub you pick.
