Superstar Ryde Edge 28 wheels


At 2112g the Superstars are the heaviest, but then they're also the cheapest by far. Ryde's 32-hole Edge rims are a cheaper evolution of its similarly asymmetric Trace hoops, and while not amazingly light - a claimed 545g - the result offers 3mm extra width over Superstar's identically-hubbed DS25-rimmed set, for no extra weight.

That 3mm might not sound much, but it bolsters high-volume tyres against flopping and rolling under cornering. The extra grip (for little straight-line drag) from any given tyre is noticeable over typical 21-23mm rims.

The hubs are Superstar's excellent Switch Ultras, which convert easily to any axle or
cassette, while spokes are Sapim and bearings are from SKS.

A high-value, versatile entryto wide rims, but heavy.

Inner width 28mm
Tubeless Yes
Sizes 26in, 650b, 29in
Weight 985g (F), 1127g (R)

PRICE 360$
