Raceface NEXT SL Wheel

This is a 29-inch rear wheel designed for 12x148 Boost spacing with a SRAM XD freehub body and 6-bolt disc brake compatibility. Please verify your frame's axle spacing and drivetrain requirements before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

The asymmetric rim profile allows for more even spoke tension between the drive side and non-drive side of the wheel. This creates a stronger, more durable build that handles lateral forces better than traditional symmetrical rims.

Using a single spoke length for the entire wheel simplifies maintenance significantly. You only need to keep one spare spoke size on hand for repairs, making it much easier to fix a broken spoke on the trail or in your home workshop.

While engineered for cross-country efficiency, the carbon construction and Vault hub system are robust enough for technical trail riding. It strikes a balance between lightweight performance for climbing and the durability needed for rougher terrain.

Yes, the rim is tubeless-ready out of the box. You will just need to add your preferred tubeless tape, valves, and sealant to complete the setup.

The Vault hub is designed specifically for longevity and smooth engagement. It features oversized bearings and a high-engagement mechanism that provides quick power transfer, which is particularly useful when navigating technical, punchy climbs.
