WTB HTZ Rear Wheel

Yes. The HTZ is engineered to handle the extra weight and torque of e-assist systems, featuring 25-30% thicker rim walls and a reinforced steel freehub body to manage the increased power output.

The integrated heat sink helps dissipate heat away from the brake rotor during long, heavy descents. This is particularly useful for e-bike riders who often use larger rotors and experience more brake fade due to the added mass of the bike.

The HTZ is available in Shimano HG, Shimano Micro Spline, and SRAM XD cassette body options. Be sure to select the version that matches your specific drivetrain setup before purchasing.

Yes, it features WTB's Tubeless 2.0 system. It is designed to be set up tubeless right out of the box for better puncture protection and the ability to run lower tire pressures for improved traction.

This wheel utilizes double-stacked Enduro sealed bearings. This configuration is chosen specifically to increase stiffness and longevity, ensuring the wheel can withstand the high-impact demands of enduro and downhill riding.

Yes, this wheel is built for the standard 12mm thru-axle by 148mm Boost spacing. It also features an increased axle sleeve diameter to further improve overall stiffness and ride quality.
