A wheelset is the single most effective upgrade you can make to your bike, and our Synthesis Tuned Wheels offer a tangible and revolutionary improvement in ride quality, born from the demands of aggressive mountain biking. We moved beyond the traditional approach of using identical front and rear wheels, recognizing that each wheel performs a very different job on the trail. This led to our tuned system, where the front and rear wheels are designed independently to optimize performance. The front wheel is tuned for compliance and grip. It features a wider internal rim and a lower spoke count to absorb impacts and trail vibrations. This results in incredible traction through corners, improved control in rough, technical sections, and reduced rider fatigue. It steers with precision and holds a line like never before. The rear wheel is tuned for stiffness and stability. It is built with a narrower internal rim and a higher spoke count to create a robust and responsive wheel that provides crisp tracking, supports the tire under heavy G-forces, and transfers power with explosive efficiency. This groundbreaking philosophy is applied across our entire MTB range, from the World Cup-winning Synthesis DH and versatile Synthesis Enduro wheels, to our lightweight Synthesis XCT models for trail and cross-country. We even offer specifically reinforced Synthesis E-MTB wheels. Available in both world-class carbon fiber and advanced alloy constructions, Synthesis wheels are a new approach to control, speed, and confidence on any trail.
