Tekkerz and Tune's joint venture will undoubtedly spark discussions among a hundred individuals at the Cafe, whether they embrace or disapprove of it.
The cycling world is abuzz with excitement as the Tune x Tekkerz Nano wheelset prepares to hit the market. This limited-edition collaboration between Tune and Tekkerz promises a unique blend of speed, style, and performance.
Weighing in at a lightweight 1,389 grams per set, the Tune x Tekkerz Nano wheelset is built for speed. Key specifications include 50mm deep Tune TRC50 carbon rims with a 25mm inner width, hooked and open rim bed. The wheelset is equipped with 24 front and 24 rear Sapim CX-Ray silver spokes, straight-pull laced, for unparalleled strength and stability.
At the heart of the wheelset are Tune's latest Nano hubs, featuring a steel three-pawl freehub system offering 69 points of engagement, upgradeable to 138 points. Enduro ABEC-5 bearings housed in aluminium end caps ensure smooth and efficient rolling. The wheelset is 12-speed ready and designed for center-lock disc brakes only.
