The carbon fiber bicycle industry has been innovating and advancing all the time. Being lighter and stronger has always been the pursuit of the professional bicycle industry, especially for the mountain rims for XC (Cross Country) riding, where riders have extreme weight requirements. The Supreme Edition was created to explore the performance and weight limits of carbon fiber materials applied to bicycle wheels. We know that different materials would affect the performance and weight of rim products. What if we change the appearance design of a rim? Would it bring any difference or improvements in the strength and weight?

We have found that the most vulnerable part of a rim is the rim lip. If we could enlarge the area of rim lip where it contacts the tire, in theory, under the same impact force, the pressure on a rim with a wider lip area would be less, which could perform a higher impact resistance. Based on this theoretical premise, we newly designed the Supreme Edition Omega 36 mountain rim with a rim lip width of 3.0mm.

The impact test result reaches 130J for the AM version (350g) and 140J for the Enduro version (390g) of Omega 36. This is a huge improvement in strength compared to the Premium Edition. IMPACT TEST VIDEO.

* Impact Test 5 at 140J represents the failure threshold, confirming that 130J is the validated safe maximum for the AM version.

* Impact Test 5 at 150J represents the failure threshold, confirming that 140J is the validated safe maximum for the Enduro version.

This rim could be used for Cross Country, Marathon, Endurance Cross Country, Trail, All Mountain riding. The tire size for this model of rim is recommended at 2.0" ~ 2.75". The tire pressure is recommended at 20 ~ 37 psi.
