SUNringle Charger Pro SL wheels


SUN'S CHARGERS USE a Stan's-licensed rim profile that's light and durable and come with prefitted tape and valves so they blow up really easily with a track pump. 

They support mid-width tyres fine and low weight means they put a noticeable punch in your power and a spring in your singletrack step. Super-light, bladed straight-pull spokes mean tracking is springy rather than pin sharp but they shrug off damage well. They also come with every imaginable axle converter, plus bottles of tubeless sealant in the box.

Bearing life has improved (it was dreadful) but even our latest sets have started feeling rough pretty quickly. The company's Charger Pro wheels are only 40g heavier and actually 1mm wider for 160$ less too, making them the better value pick.

Weight: 1,660g (780g F, 880g R)
Rim: 22/27mm
Freehub lag: 75°
Tubeless type: taped
Sizes: 26in, 650b, 29in.
Options: QR/15/20mm F, QR135x10/135x12/142x12mm R
XD: Yes

PRICE 1030$

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.
