TECH
As more bikes become compatible with massive 2.8-3.2” tires, AM740’s are the opportunity to upgrade your ride into a plus bike, while still experiencing the incredible traction and stiffness only a lightweight carbon wheelset provides.
Not only are carbon plus wheels dramatically lighter than alloy, they are stronger as well. Running your alloy rims at low pressure usually means plenty of dents and a sluggish ride. Fortunately, AM740 solves both these problems with an incredibly durable and stiff profile, unleashing a new level of performance from your plus bike.
E-bike Approved! This wheel's Enduro Version is designed to be compatible with mid-drive e-bikes.
WARRANTY
For Non-Pro Series Rims: From the date of purchase, 3-year Standard Warranty.
For Pro Series Rims: From the date of purchase, 5-year Pro Warranty as standard and an upgraded optional lifetime Premium Warranty with minimum charge.
Crash Replacement: It is applicable with the same period as the warranty time range that you purchased for the rims with 10% /25% discount for Non-Pro series /Pro series.

Jeremy : I bought 2 sets, 29 recon pro and 27.5+ wheelsets with I9 1/1 hubs. They have both been absolutely amazing wheels and have been transferred through multiple bike builds. I doubt I'll ever sell them.

Gino : This is my self-made wheelset with the rims EN740 (RM650BC22) outside 46mm / inside 40mm 28mm high. These rims I have on all my e-bikes. For me they are the best I have ever ridden !!!
