The Duke Lucky Jack SLS3 6Ters is the new flagship rim in the carbon XC range. MTB rims profiles are differentiated as we do not ask the rims the same qualities while riding: a front wheel must give grip, be light, stiff and handy. A rear wheel must be more comfortable, stronger and offer more efficiency.
Thus the front and rear wheels have different profiles. In collaboration with the Absalon and the Perrin-Ganier brothers, the 6TERS front 28 or 30mm and rear 26 or 30mm profiles complement each other for a greater efficiency in the trails
Used by some of the world’s best riders such as Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (team Canyon-SRAM) Julien Absalon (Team Absolute Absalon BMC racing team), Titouan Perrin-Ganier (Team Velcan, 3 times World XCE Champion), the Scott Creuse Oxygène Team, Titouan Carod and his teammates at Team BMC International, Mathias Flückiger and his teammates at Team Radon.
- Designed, developed and tested in Europe. Carbon (DUKE is the proprietor of all its carbon rim moulds) rim for Tubeless or standard clincher and inner tube.
- DUKE SLS3 6Ters: a front wheel must give grip, be light, stiff and handy.
- Asymmetric profile ( front 2.8mm – rear 2.6mm offset): by offsetting, we can increase the wheel’s lateral stiffness and its stability without adding weight. Rim drillings are off-centre to improve bracing angles for a stronger, more rigid wheel. The rim is stronger, and the impact of crosswinds is reduced. Plus, with offsetting there’s a better balance between the drive and non-drive side spoke tensions and improved durability over the long-term.
- Extra wide increases tire volume improve speed, comfort and grip, especially in the corners.
- A wider rim allows us to increase the volume of air in the tire, this improves ride comfort. Also, the tire is securely held between the rim sidewalls, making the bike more stable.
- Lateral stiffness is improved by 40% compared to the previous version of this wheel.
- Impact resistance, even on the roughest terrain: impact energy absorption is improved by more than >50% compared to the first version of this wheel.
