Meet the rim bead, not quite wide but certainly not slender, strikes a balance between the sleek XC wheels and the monstrous 40mm+ rims seen on extreme enduro bikes. It's that Goldilocks sweet spot. However, the broad Boost hubs defy moderation, delivering an intense boost in drive stiffness and responsiveness to the wheels.

Branded as Blacklabel, these wheels signify Reynolds' top-tier construction. Employing the Mountain Rim 5 (MR5) lay-up, involving five carbon matrixes across distinct wheel areas, it's a process more complex than many framesets. While we rarely contemplate equipment failure during intense rides, Reynolds' extensive engineering in the rims minimizes that concern, sparing us from potential wheel or bike replacements post-injury.

Moderation shines through in the wheels' 25mm internal rim width, ideal for mid-sized tires. Optimal tire pairing falls within the 2.4-2.5 range, striking a balance between cushioning and traction without sacrificing stability in tight corners. While plus-sized tires have their moments, this mid-sized rim and tire combo handles nearly all trail situations, making them the go-to choice when restricted to one set of wheels and rubber.

The hubs, crafted by Industry Nine, are essentially rebranded Torch models, meticulously machined in Asheville, NC, with the exception of ABEC 5 grade Japanese bearings. Yet, the real star here is the Torch freehub, utilizing offset pawls to reduce engagement angle to three degrees. It's a replacement for DT Swiss' 240s, and though it might seem like a downgrade with another brand, Industry Nine's Torch is poised to set a new standard, making the shift perfectly acceptable.
