About this rim
The all-season 27.5" Xiphias for 3.5" to 4.8" tires.
Introduction
Fat bikes are quite similar to regular bikes, but have much wider rims and larger tires that provide enough support to ride on the snow or sand. Fat bikes are especially suitable for winter cycling. With wide tires, you could easily float on top of the snow and make your way through the winter.
The tire size for this model of rim is recommended at 3.5" ~ 4.8". The tire pressure is recommended at 6 ~ 19 psi.
Design features
Width 80mm fits more forms of cycling and keeps riding in great stability;
Deep channel would help you easily install and take off a tire;
Small bead socket could lock tire tightly and help run tubeless perfectly;
Aero roof surface (triangle-like shape) could easily shed the dirt or mud, better to release weight during cycling;
Section of triangle's inherent feature of stability on rim design keeps rim in strong performance.
