WTB Wheels with Onyx Hubs

Gravel in depth

WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 25 wheels on Onyx MTB Centerlock hubs

Our gravel pick from the WTB and Onyx parts we build with. The WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 25 is a hooked aluminum rim, 25mm inside, 17.6mm deep, about 485 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Onyx MTB Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.

• Solid Strip in TCS 2.0. A strip sits in a recessed channel under the tubeless tape, which stops the tape sagging at the spoke holes. The tire then seals against a smooth, consistent surface.
• Power that does not wait for a tooth. Onyx says the hub carries your pedaling to the rear wheel instantly, for faster acceleration and more control. There is no gap between teeth to cross before it picks up.

WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 35 wheels on Onyx MTB Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the WTB and Onyx parts we build with. The WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 35 is a hooked aluminum rim, 35mm inside, 17.6mm deep, about 577 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.4 to 2.8 inch tires. We lace it to Onyx MTB Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.

• I-Beam support. An I-shaped wall inside the rim cavity adds radial and lateral rigidity, and KOM Tough rims use two of them. HTZ rims pair the I-Beam with walls WTB says are 25 to 30 percent thicker than its standard rims, for the extra weight of e-bikes.
• A weight trade-off. These hubs are heavier than pawl hubs, so they suit riders who want the engagement and the silence enough to carry the extra grams.

Fat bike in depth

WTB KOM Light TCS I 76 wheels on Onyx MTB Centerlock hubs

Our fat bike pick from the WTB and Onyx parts we build with. The WTB KOM Light TCS I 76 is a hooked aluminum rim, 76mm inside, 14.9mm deep, about 831 grams in 27.5 inch, sized for about 3.8 to 5 inch fat bike tires. We lace it to Onyx MTB Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.

• CVX spoke bed. On the rims with CVX in the name, WTB's patented shape thickens the spoke bed where it is needed and removes material where it is not. It also gives the nipple head more contact with the rim to reduce stress at the spoke hole.
• Bearings chosen for low drag. Onyx fits premium-grade bearings front and rear, and credits them with very low rolling resistance on both wheels.
