WTB HTZ i23 Rim

The HTZ rims are built to be more robust in every respect: significantly thicker rim walls, a tried-and-tested I-beam centre section, asymmetrical spoke holes and a reliable 6069 aluminium alloy result in a bombproof rim that doesn’t cost a fortune. HTZ i23 and i25 rims are the best choice for your e-bike gravel bike.

HTZ rims are not a gimmick where a company slaps the name ‘e-bike’ onto a downhill component just to ride the e-bike wave. The additional weight and the resulting forces on e-bikes are significantly higher than on conventional bikes. The HTZ rims were developed with the stipulation that they must not compromise under any circumstances or on any bike without having set a weight target. Ultimately, HTZ is the most bombproof rim you can buy for your e-bike.

The patented 4D spoke hole ensures the best possible spoke nipple fit and distributes tension more evenly over a larger area. This ensures outstanding durability. The integration of the WTB Solid Strip into the rims provides a very easy-to-fit and reliable tubeless system. A recessed channel in the centre of the TCS 2.0 rims allows for the installation of the all-new Solid Strip, which prevents the tubeless strip from sagging at the spoke holes and guarantees a smooth, even connection between the tyre and the rim.

WTB I-Beam:

the advanced I-Beam construction reinforces the rim with an internal cross-brace and offers exceptionally high stiffness. The rims have proven themselves on the toughest courses, from gravel to the Enduro World Series.
