RaceLab XC30

Description

XC Race. Engineered Light. Built to Win.

The RaceLab XC30 is a hookless carbon fiber tubeless mountain bike wheelset engineered for the demands of World Cup–level cross-country racing. Lightweight, stiff, and ruthlessly precise, the XC30 is built for racers and serious enthusiasts who measure performance in vertical gain, sprint power, and the marginal seconds gained on every climb and descent.

A 30mm internal rim width supports the full range of modern XC tires, while the 25mm rim depth balances responsive accelerations with the stability needed at race pace. The 2.5mm offset spoke bed produces more even spoke tension and improved lateral rigidity — a foundational advantage for stiffness-to-weight efficiency.

Advanced Carbon Architecture

Constructed from high-modulus carbon fiber, the XC30 achieves an exceptional verified set weight of 1200g (±40g) — performance numbers normally reserved for the lightest road wheels. The layup is engineered to maximize torsional rigidity for direct power transfer while delivering the impact resilience demanded by aggressive trail racing.

Each rim is dynamically balanced during manufacturing, ensuring harmonized rotation at speed, reduced trail vibration, and consistent feel through technical sections.

Hand Built. Precision Assembled.

Every RaceLab XC30 wheel is hand built in-house by experienced wheel technicians using only the highest quality components. Spoke tension is meticulously measured and balanced to exact tolerances, ensuring structural uniformity, long-term reliability, and consistent performance under race-level loads.

This deliberate, hands-on assembly process allows each wheelset to meet exacting standards of trueness, roundness, and tension balance — delivering a ride quality that is both precise and enduring.

Structural Reinforcement, Intelligently Applied

The variable-thickness nipple bed reinforces the spoke interface — the highest stress zone within any performance wheel. By increasing material only where required, durability is enhanced without compromising weight targets. This precision allocation of carbon ensures long-term structural integrity while preserving the lightweight character demanded by competitive riders.

Hookless Tubeless Confidence

The hookless tubeless bead profile delivers maximum sidewall support, optimized tire shape, and secure retention at trail pressures. Paired with a 30mm internal width, the XC30 produces a balanced, planted contact patch that elevates traction, cornering precision, and rolling efficiency across loose, rooted, and rocky terrain.
