Race Face Turbine EMTB 30mm Wheelset for Electric Mountain Bikes Boost & Super Boost

The Race Face Turbine EMTB 30mm Wheel is expertly engineered to meet the unique demands of electric mountain biking. Designed to handle the increased weight and torque of eMTBs, this wheelset offers a perfect balance of strength, durability, and ride compliance. Whether you're tackling aggressive trails or navigating technical terrain, these wheels ensure superior control and comfort without compromising on performance. Built with reinforced rims, steel axles, and robust spokes, they are crafted to withstand the intense impacts that eMTB riders face every day.

Drawing inspiration from the original MY24 Turbine wheels, the EMTB version enhances durability while maintaining the smooth ride feel that Race Face wheels are known for. With a 30mm internal rim width and thoughtfully engineered front and rear profiles, these wheels provide excellent tire support and traction. The Vault hubs feature quick 3-degree engagement and top-tier sealing, ensuring reliability and responsiveness on every ride. Plus, the tubeless-ready design allows for lower tire pressures, improving grip and comfort even further.

Offered in both 29" and 27.5" sizes with Boost and Super Boost spacing, the Turbine EMTB wheels come ready to support riders up to 150kg with a maximum torque assist of 95Nm, ideal for full-power eMTBs. Their lightweight build—just 2145g per wheelset—makes them one of the lightest, most impact-resistant options on the market, giving you confidence to push harder and ride longer.

What It’s Good For

• Providing exceptional strength and impact resistance for aggressive eMTB riding.
