Palmarès
Despite only officially launching in early 2021, our wheels already have some impressive achievements to their name. Of course, we can’t claim all the credit. Without a doubt, it was the riders who did the hard work.
But our wheels got them to the finish line, often over some fairly brutal terrain. From Italian streambeds and Scottish quadbike trails to sweeping Slovenian switchbacks and Kielder forestry roads, our wheels have seen it all on their way to glory.
