Velocity Blunt SS 27.5" Disc Road Rim - Alloy, Tubeless Ready, Polished Silver
Reference Number: 3C81X7
Experience unparalleled durability and performance with the Velocity Blunt SS Rim - the ultimate choice for cross-country (XC) riders seeking a lightweight, high-tension alloy wheel designed for hard trails and aggressive riding. Crafted in the USA, this 27.5" disc brake rim combines innovative engineering with sleek style to elevate your mountain biking experience.
Materials & Construction:
Constructed from premium aerospace-grade aluminum, the Velocity Blunt SS Rim features a high-strength alloy that delivers exceptional toughness while remaining lightweight at only 395 grams. Its polished silver finish not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also provides corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability for rugged terrain.
Performance & Engineering:
Designed specifically for XC use, this rim boasts shorter and thicker sidewalls that resist impacts and withstand low-pressure tubeless setups. The advanced I-beam bead hook maximizes the internal width (26.6mm) for superior tire support and optimal traction, especially when paired with tubeless-ready tires. The precision-designed bead seat and diameter ensure a perfect fit and reliable seal every ride, whether you're tackling climbs or descents.
Components & Technology:
The Blunt SS Rim is built for high-tension wheel-building, featuring an innovative spoke bed that supports superior tension without sacrificing weight or durability. Compatible exclusively with disc brakes, it supports 32-hole hubs for secure, efficient wheel assembly. For tubeless setups, Velocity recommends using their VR8001 valve and 24mm Velotape (RS1006) for an airtight seal, minimizing weight and improving ride quality.
Style & Use Case:
With its sleek polished silver finish and minimalist design, the Velocity Blunt SS Rim exudes modern elegance suited for XC racers and trail enthusiasts alike. Its 20mm wheel depth offers a balanced blend of strength and weight savings, making it ideal for aggressive trail riding, marathon races, and all-mountain adventures. Whether you're upgrading your existing wheelset or building a custom XC wheel, this rim delivers reliable performance across diverse terrains.
