Crankbrothers Synthesis E Alloy Front Wheel

This wheel is designed for modern trail and enduro bikes using a 15mm x 110mm Boost thru-axle. Please verify your fork spacing and ensure your brake system uses 6-bolt rotors before purchasing.

The 31.5mm internal width is optimized for modern trail tires, typically ranging from 2.3 to 2.6 inches. This width provides excellent sidewall support, which helps prevent tire squirm when cornering at lower pressures.

Yes, the rim is tubeless-ready. You will still need to install your own tubeless tape, sealant, and valves to complete the setup, but the rim profile is specifically shaped to seat tubeless tires securely.

While carbon wheels are often stiffer, this alloy rim is engineered to balance compliance and durability. It offers a more forgiving feel on technical, rocky terrain, which can reduce rider fatigue during long, aggressive descents.

While it is built for aggressive trail and enduro riding, it is not specifically rated for dedicated downhill racing. If you are frequently hitting massive jumps or high-speed rock gardens, you may want to look for a wheelset specifically designated for downhill use.
