Spank 359 27.5" Gravity Rim - 32H, Matte Black, Tubeless Ready
505g | 30.5mm Inner Width | BeadBite | OohBah | Disc Brake | DH / Freeride / Heavy Enduro
A serious gravity rim from Spank Industries - a Taiwanese brand with a strong following in the downhill, freeride, and enduro world. The 359 is Spank's core radially compliant gravity rim, built for riders who want a tough, wide alloy rim that can take repeated hard impacts without the cost or fragility of carbon. The wide 30.5mm internal width works well with everything from 2.0" to 2.6" tyres, and the BeadBite tubeless hooks keep the bead seated securely even at low pressures. The OohBah inverted inner wall design and MGR Dynamal alloy contribute to a rim that is genuinely light at 505g for a gravity-rated 27.5" 32H rim.
Important - spoke washers: Spank includes spoke washers with this rim which must be used during wheel building. Failure to use the washers will void Spank's warranty. The washers are included with this rim.
Key Features
- Radially Compliant design: The low profile and wide shape allows the rim to flex slightly radially, improving traction and reducing harsh feedback over rough terrain without sacrificing lateral stiffness
- BeadBite tubeless hooks: Spank's anti-burp bead hook design keeps tubeless tyres seated securely, even at the low pressures favoured by gravity riders
- OohBah Inverted Inner Wall: Spank's proprietary inner wall geometry that adds strength and stiffness to the spoke bed area without adding weight
- MGR Dynamal alloy: Spank's proprietary alloy designation - delivers a strong, fatigue-resistant rim at a weight that competes with more expensive options
- 30.5mm inner width: Wide enough to properly support modern gravity tyres from 2.0" to 2.6", and usable with Plus-size tyres without negatively squaring off the tyre profile
- 505g: Genuinely light for a 32H, 27.5" gravity-rated alloy rim
- Tubeless ready: The rim is tubeless-compatible via its BeadBite bead hooks and sealed construction. Rim tape, a valve, and sealant are NOT included and are required to complete a tubeless setup
- Disc brake only: No brake track - designed for disc brake use only
