Livewires are designed to help deliver the best trail performance for modern-geometry short to mid travel aggressive XC & Trail bikes by offering larger volume tire support and lateral stiffness.
Livewires maintain lightweight climbing and acceleration capabilities while delivering outstanding cornering and tracking (when compared to a traditional XC wheelset).
Ride quality is tuned & and weight is controlled through the use of our lifetime guaranteed SPM™ straight-pull hubs and 28 Sapim CX Ray spokes per wheel, laced three-cross (while straight-pull hubs from many other hub makers count the spoke lobe as one of the cross points, SPM™ hubs are truly 3x, maximizing torsional strength).
The 30mm internal width of the Livewire is ideal for tires ranging from 2.25" to 2.6". If you're consistently running 2.3" or smaller volume tires, or if you're looking for a pure XC race wheels you should consider our Hotwire wheelset.
More aggressive riders, or riders on longer travel, more "enduro" oriented bikes who seeking a 30mm (internal width) rim profile should check out our Hotline wheelset.
