CZR i23 Carbon Rim

CZR i23 rims feature a 24mm section depth to maximize energy transfer, reduce weight, improve vertical compliance, and reduce rider fatigue while a hooked bead also improves tire retention with high pressure adventure road and gravel tires.

Solid Strip & TCS Tape

Durable nylon strip that lies between the rim and tubeless tape to prevent tubeless tape from pushing into the spoke holes and ensures a smooth interface between the tire and rim. The smooth surface makes it easier to mount a tire by preventing air from escaping around the bead at each indent during inflation. Solid Strip also protects the airtight system from puncture in the case of a broken spoke.

2-cross lacing and nipples

CZR i23 wheels with 24 holes feature a two cross lacing pattern to increase radial stiffness and reduce weight.

Industry Nine Torch Hub

Torch gravel hubs feature Industry Nine's ultrafast 0.52° engagement and minimalistic weights. We're also a fan of Industry Nine hubs because they can be serviced without any proprietary tools, which is something we've always advocated for. Every step of design, engineering, manufacturing and assembly is done at Industry Nine's Asheville, NC machine shop. E-bike Class 1 compatible.

PRODUCT TECHNOLOGY

TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is our industry-leading tubeless rim/tire system designed to international ETRTO and ISO standards.

WTB carbon components are designed to provide a perfect blend of stiffness and compliance while also proving to be nearly indestructible.

Additional carbon at each spoke bed improves overall rim strength and durability while also minimizing weight in areas where less strength, and therefore material, is needed.

Spoke holes are drilled at an angle to match the natural spoke path between a rim and hub. Eliminates binding and lateral loading of the nipples to increase wheel durability.

Asymmetrically offset spoke holes create a stronger wheel by placing the holes more in line with the center of the hub and more evenly distributing spoke tension.

Sloped rim valley allows the bead of the tire to easily and smoothly move into place during installation and inflation.

Installed between the rim and tubeless tape to prevent tape from sagging at each spoke hole and make tire inflation easier while also preventing puncture from a broken spoke.

SPECIFICATIONS: (Max spoke tension range: 110-120KgF)

Why Choose CZR i23?

Fast and light CZR i23 gravel wheels were designed to minimize weight and maximize compliance on rough gravel roads. With front wheel weights starting at 620g and rears at 775g, they also deliver the greatest strength-to-weight ratio of any gravel wheelset on the market. We even stand behind them with our Ride With Confidence Guarantee for those few-and-far-between crash replacement cases. Read below for more info.

Pair all that with our lifetime Ride With Confidence Guarantee and you have yourself a wheel that simply won't quit for years and years to come.

Ride With Confidence Guarantee

If you break our CZR carbon rim while riding, we'll send you one for free. No exceptions. Didn't see that sharp rock until you were mid-air? Was the huck-to-flat a little flatter than you anticipated? Do you simply ride like a freight train without brakes? As long as you are the original owner and were riding your bike when it happened, we'll replace it for free. Your friends may judge for your poor line choice, but we won't. We also provide the option for us to rebuild the wheel and send it back to you with fresh spokes and nipples.

HOW DOES RIM WIDTH AFFECT TIRE VOLUME AND PROFILE?

Wider rims will cause a tire to also have a wider width, with more air volume within the tire and a flatter tire tread profile than designed for. As a general rule of thumb, a 2mm increase or decrease of inner rim width will result in a tire section width increase or decrease of 1mm. For example, our Nano 40 tire has a tire section width of 40mm on a 21mm inner rim width, however it will have a tire section width of 41mm on a 23mm inner rim width.

ARE CZR WHEELS WITH INDUSTRY NINE HUBS COVERED BY WTB'S RIDE WITH CONFIDENCE GUARANTEE?

ABSOLUTELY! If you purchase a wheel with CZR carbon rims, you're covered, regardless of what hubs the wheels were purchased with. Ride with Confidence knowing that your CZR carbon rims are covered for life!

WHY DO CZR i23 WHEELS HAVE A HOOKED BEAD WHILE CZR i30 ARE HOOKLESS?

CZR i23 rims feature a hooked bead because doing so provides a more dependable connection between the tire and rim when running a tire at the higher air pressures that are common with adventure road and gravel riding. CZR i30 rims feature a hookless bead because the smooth bead surface allows for more material to be used in an area when strength is incredibly important. Both CZR i23 and CZR i30 rims are compatible with any tires that comply with ETRTO standards.

ARE THERE TRICKS TO INSTALLING A TIRE ON AN ASYMMETRICAL RIM?

Asymmetrical rims feature a "short" and "long" side. It is helpful to always mount both sides of the tire onto the rim on the "short side" of the rim. The short side of the rim provides the shortest distance between the rim leg/bead and the valley of the rim. Once the first tire bead is completely on the rim, it can be pulled over the rubber portion of the valve and positioned at the deepest part of the rim valley. The other side of the tire can then be installed onto the rim with the least amount of resistance.
