Description
When Race Face set about designing the Turbine R Wheel. they listed in order what they felt was important in a wheel and built something to meet those requirements. With the top 3 priorities being Durability. Stiffness. and Serviceability. the Turbine R can handle almost anything you can throw at it.
The wheel features an asymmetric design offsetting the placement of the spoke nipples by 3mm. This design mixed with the purpose-built Vault hub leads to a wheel with equally balanced spoke tension throughout and a single spoke size for ease of replacement.
