All Berd wheels feature 28 Berd spokes on both front and rear wheels, offering exceptional damping that cannot be achieved with tradiotional metal spokes. The XC25 rims utilize a front/rear specific system for optimal weight distribution without compromising impact strength. The rims have a glossy and hard-wearing surface finish to resist scratching.
Industry Nine Hubs, including Hydra mountain hubs with 690 points of engagement on the freehub, are used in all Berd wheelsets. The partnership with Industry Nine was based on their commitment to performance, durability, and innovation.
The XC Series Carbon wheels, recommended for serious XC racers, weigh less than 1,250 grams and utilize Berd spokes for superior vibration damping. Paired exclusively with Industry Nine Hydra hubs, these wheels offer speed and performance over rough terrain.

Technology:
Berd spokes are made from an advanced polymer called ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) that has 12 times the strength-to-weight ratio of steel and floats on water. Berd spokes have an improved fatigue life compared to steel and are impervious to the elements.
