WTB KOM Light Rim

While the WTB KOM Light is optimized for a tubeless setup using the TCS 2.0 system, it is compatible with standard clincher tires as well. You will just need to use a tube if you choose not to run it tubeless.

The 4D drilling process angles the spoke holes to match the natural trajectory of the spoke from the hub to the rim. This reduces stress on the spoke nipple and prevents binding, which ultimately leads to a stronger, more durable wheel build that holds tension better over time.

No, this rim is designed exclusively for disc brake setups. It does not have a machined braking surface on the sidewalls, so it will not work with rim brakes.

The Solid Strip is a durable plastic liner that sits in the rim channel underneath your tubeless tape. It prevents the tape from sagging into the spoke holes and protects against punctures, making your tubeless setup significantly more reliable and easier to install.

A 25mm internal width is generally best suited for cross-country or light trail riding with narrower tires. If you are planning to run wide, high-volume tires for aggressive enduro riding, you may want to look for a rim with a wider internal profile to provide better sidewall support.
