Spank 350 29" MTB Rim

Low sectional profile height and wide width, adds radial compliance, while keeping high lateral stiffness. 30mm internal width extremely versatile, fitting tires from 2.0” to 2.6” perfectly.

• Low sectional profile height and wide width, adds radial compliance, while keeping high lateral stiffness.
• 30mm internal width extremely versatile, fitting tires from 2.0” to 2.6” perfectly, and even allowing + size tire use, without negative squaring off of tire profiles.
• Ideal for Trail/AM/Enduro bikes looking for a wide profile, without the weight penalty

Wheels are the first point of contact between you and your bike, and the trail you’re riding on. And while wheel sizes and standards continue to develop significantly year on year, often to both the rider and the industry’s dismay, very little innovation has been seen in the compliancy and responsiveness of the wheel as this first, most important contact and conductor.
What we have seen in recent years is that bike suspension is continuously evolving and adapting to compensate for stiffer frames and more rigid, deeper profile carbon fiber rims. This overall stiffer rig is being softened, or counter-acted by both bike suspension, and tire design – not to mention the ever lower and lower tire pressures riders are running. Rider position (wider, lower, more forward) is also being impacted directly by the bike frame and cockpit geometries which is constantly aiming for a better riding feel. So surely it is overdue time to re-examine how the engineering of the wheel can become an active contributor to the efficiency of the overall set up.

Spank Industries has done just this. With 15 years of dedicated know-how in rim and wheel design and manufacturing, and with over 180 rim profiles successfully brought to market by founder and chief of design Gavin Michael Vos, for both Spank Industries and other top 10 rim and wheel brands, Spank Industries releases at the 2018 Eurobike Show, what is probably one of the biggest innovations in rim and wheel development in recent years: The new SPANK SPIKE 350 Vibrocore™ for Downhill and Free ride and the SPANK OOZY 350 for Trail, All Mountain and Enduro.
