WTB HTZ i30 disc 6-hole PSB34 32L wheel

HTZ i30 is our first purpose-built eMTB wheelset for those who want to smash through rock gardens with confidence and not have to worry about if their wheels will make it through the ride. What makes HTZ wheels e-bike specific? An asymmetric rim design with 20% thicker walls, a heat-treated steel freehub body with six pawls of simultaneous engagement, oversized 17mm axle sleeves, double-stacked Enduro sealed bearings at the inboard end of the driver body and rotor mount heat sinks all create a bombproof wheelset specifically tailored to meet the demands of full-power eMTBs. Every component of our new HTZ wheels was meticulously designed to create the most dependable e-specific wheels on the market.

• 20% thicker rim walls HTZ i30 tubeless-ready rims boast an increased wall thickness of 20% over our already-burly KOM Tough enduro rims to help ensure they’re capable of withstanding the additional forces of modern eMTBs. We didn’t simply add material and call it good, though. Asymmetric spoke offset helps balance spoke length and tension to create a more stable wheel while a symmetric outer rim profile distributes impact forces evenly through the rim. HTZ rims also feature a vertical I-Beam support within the inner rim cavity to drastically increase the strength and rigidity of our toughest alloy rims.
• 13-gauge butted spokes Wheel strength is limited by its weakest point, which is why the complete build spec is as meticulous as the component designs themselves. HTZ wheels feature 13-gauge butted (2.3/2.0mm) spokes that are oversized at the hub to increase wheel stiffness and durability, with the thickest section at the hub to counteract the higher braking forces and increased motor torque of an e-bike.
• Every HTZ wheel sold in North America is hand-built at our wheel building facility in California, while wheels sold in Europe are hand-built in Italy. Both facilities follow a six-step dewinding process to deliver equal spoke tension and worry-free riding. This process eliminates any winding stresses in the spokes that would otherwise release while riding. Combine this process with mechanically locking nipples and HTZ wheels will hold tension and stay true even through the most strenuous of rides.
