Worldwide ShippingWheels for Purpose
The Inception 38s were designed to be the ideal upgrade option for those chasing aero benefits on flats and a fast responding wheel set on hills. With 38mm hoops on either end, these wheels are excellent, versatile all-rounders.
Tipping the scales at 1,520g, the Inception 38s are lightweight and in terms of spec, there is nothing that comes close at this price point. Partnered with double-disc Ratchet Drive hubs, these wheels respond FAST.
The Wide 19mm internal profile lets you fit wide tyres for increased stability when cornering, and increased speed due to improved rolling resistance - especially when ran as tubeless. By using a Super High TG Resin for the Inception 38s, you will be able to brake hard (especially on descents) as the braking track can withstand up to 240 degree Celsius! Partnered with our own braking compound, you'll be able to ride with confidence knowing you can scrub speed as needed.
