More about e*thirteen Flux Rims

Riders asked for rims that combine the legendary strength of LG1 Race with a more forgiving, compliant ride. Grappler Flux is the answer. The low-profile design absorbs impacts and filters vibration before it reaches you, improving traction and control at speed while cutting fatigue on long descents. BikeRadar said, "While some carbon rims can feel harsh or overly stiff, the Grapplers don’t." Testpilot said riders were "safer, faster, and more relaxed."

29" Grappler Flux Enduro and DH rims feature a 20mm low-profile section optimized for each discipline. 27.5" Grappler Flux GR rims use a 17.5mm profile built to handle mixed-wheel gravity riding, making them suitable for Enduro, DH, E-MTB, and bike park. Both share a 30mm inner width for lateral stability and optimal tire support.

Carbon rims use high-modulus fiber with an optimized layup that balances durability, weight, and compliance. Aluminum rims use welded 6069-AL construction for proven performance at a lower price. Both feature hookless flanges for set-and-forget tubeless security and impact resistance.

Carbon rims are backed by e*thirteen's lifetime free replacement warranty. Aluminum rims carry a 5-year warranty.
