Superstar Tech 4 DS25 Wheels


If you've been reading our Team Bikes pages you’ll have seen these lime green wheels on Guy’s GT Force for a while. That’s because they’re solid performers at an unbelievable price, and we’ve had the same feedback on Superstar’s range of wheels from everyone who’s used them. By selling direct, Superstar keep extra costs to a minimum and really do pass the savings on to you. Their website also lets you create your ideal wheel from a wide range of rims, hubs, spokes, axle fittings, freehubs (standard, XD or steel bodied) and colours (for 15$ extra).

What’s really impressive about Superstar is that they’re generally well ahead of the curve of most major manufacturers, as these 25mm internal width rims prove. Their carbon-rimmed wheels are cheaper than most premium alloy sets and there’s a whole range of super-wide hoops in the pipeline. Back to the Tech 4 DS25s, tubeless kits are 27$ extra but they seal really easily once installed, and we’ve beaten the crap out of these rims and other sets without a single issue. The hand-built UK quality is excellent too, keeping them tight and feedback-rich on the trail, and the SKF bearings are top quality. In case your luck runs out, Superstar will re-true them for free for life and replace crash-mangled components at a discount. That leaves high weight as the only grumble but there are lighter options at equally crazy value prices.

WIDTH: 25/30mm
LAG: 5°
SIZES: 26in, 650b, 29in
