Race Face Turbine 30mm Alloy Mountain Bike Wheel 27.5" & 29" Boost Hub

The Race Face Turbine 30mm Wheel embodies the perfect harmony between lightweight performance and robust durability, designed specifically for the demanding world of mountain biking. Built with an all-new alloy rim that offers enhanced impact strength and a unique external beadhook for superior tyre protection, this wheel is engineered to withstand the toughest trails. Whether you’re pushing through aggressive enduro courses or enjoying a comfortable ride on varied terrain, the Turbine wheel delivers exceptional traction and vertical compliance that transforms your biking experience.

Inspired by the proven Turbine R wheel from the Enduro World Series, this 29-inch wheel model has been optimized to further increase strength while maintaining the compliance needed to absorb trail vibrations. Riders consistently report that upgrading to the Turbine wheel feels like installing longer travel suspension on their bike, enhancing comfort without sacrificing power transfer. With offset nipple beds and straight pull Vault hubs paired with double-butted Sapim spokes, this wheel ensures balanced spoke tension and reliable performance on every ride.

One of the standout features is the innovative Anvil Edge design, which broadens the rim edge to distribute impact forces more evenly. This significantly reduces the risk of pinch flats—one of the most common and frustrating mechanical failures—allowing you to ride with confidence and enjoy longer tyre life without the need for heavy casings or inflated pressures. Backed by Race Face’s Lifetime Warranty that includes crash protection, the Turbine wheel is a durable, high-quality investment that keeps you rolling with peace of mind.
