This gravel-ready rim features an asymmetrical carbon build that allows it to deliver minimal rotational weight and fine-tuned compliance to make you feel at one with the terrain. WTB has also put this model through a series of lab tests and found that its CZR rim is lighter overall, more impact resistant, and laterally stiffer while remaining vertically compliant. After two years of development, this durable rim offers excellent reliability, wherever your next gravel bike adventure leads you. Gravel Bike Rim with Tubeless TCS 2.0 Technology WTB has equipped this gravel bike rim with its renowned TCS 2.0 technology, which provides a more robust, easily installed, and dependable tubeless system. A recessed channel along its centre allows for the installation of the updated Solid Strip, which prevents tubeless tape from sagging at the spoke holes and results in a smooth, consistent interface between the tyre and rim. Installation of the stout Solid Strip allows for more pliable, and easy to install, TCS Tape to provide the airtight seal needed for a tubeless system. This means that riders will enjoy tubeless benefits such as the ability to run lower air pressure for greater stability on rough terrain, increased comfort and less chances of punctures or flats.

This high-quality electric bike (E-bike) rim is perfect for off-road riding as it features 4D angled spoke drilling, which eliminates binding and lateral loading, and disperses tension more evenly over a greater area. Ready for hitting the trails, this model's symmetric outer profile offers equal dissipation of impact forces on both sides, while its asymmetric spoke hole drilling allows for even spoke tension and increased wheel strength. Durable, Thick Walled Rim E-bikes add to the riding experience by simply providing more for less. More distance, more laps, more climbs and more descents. With all those “mores” also comes more weight continually bashing on the components of an e-bike. In order to overcome the increased forces induced by the technological progression of modern e-bikes, WTB designed its HTZ rims with more material in every area of the rim prole. Every wall of the rim is 25-30% thicker in comparison to those on WTB's standard rims, which WTB then paired with its proven I-Beam centre support to ensure no beating was too great for these rims. All HTZ rims are TCS 2.0 tubeless, feature asymmetrical spoke drilling, and are available in widths ranging from i23 to i35 in order to provide options for e-bikes ranging from e-assist gravel bikes to dual-crown downhill bikes that no longer need a truck to be shuttled. Tubeless Ready E-Bike Rim TCS 2.0 Tubeless ready and comes with a preinstalled Solid Strip, which lies beneath the tubeless tape and prevents sagging at the spoke holes, creating a smooth interface between the rim and tire bead. This prevents air from escaping around the bead and therefore requires less air volume and pressure to mount a tire. Solid Strip also protects the airtight tubeless system from being punctured in the case of a broken spoke. TCS 2.0 creates a more robust, easily installed and dependable tubeless system.

Please Note: The Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pad is designed for use on carbon rims and has not been approved for use on aluminium braking surfaces. One pair supplied in a pack.
The redesigned Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pad is created especially for braking on carbon surfaces delivering smooth speed control and reliable stopping power in all conditions, wet or dry. It also is designed for a longer wear life. Just like a champion cyclist, this pad is a versatile performer.
Zipp® developed the Tangente™ High Performance Cork Brake Pad as a response to the intense heat caused by braking on carbon. These pads are designed for our carbon rims and employ a composite cork polymer to reduce glazing and offer consistent brake response. As a result, the Tangente cork pad avoids the brake pulsation produced by residue buildup from rubber pads and can even eliminate pulsation from rims with previous buildup.Even though the newer silver Tangente Platinum Pro Brake Pad is designed to perform better across all riding conditions, we realize there remain fans of the smooth consistent feel of cork.Tangente High Performance Cork Brake Pad’s unique shape places more material in the front of the pad to improve durability and shed water. Although the composite material wears similarly to low-temperature rubber compounds, the Tangente cork pad lasts longer than most rubber carbon-specific pads because of its shape and 0.5 mm greater overall thickness.Select Shimano®/SRAM® or Campagnolo® stylesThe Tangente pad may be used on any tubular or clincher rim with a carbon braking surface, but it should never be used on aluminum braking surfaces.
