syncros rims were designed with the intention of challenging conventional rim building techniques with the goals of greater strength, more consistent manufacturing processes, and better roundness. We succeeded. Here’s why…

Proprietary alloy: We use proprietary alloys which are manufactured from scratch all in the same facility, allowing us to control every part of the process, resulting in better QA and a streamlined production sequence.

Improved Rim joints: A rim’s weakest link is the joint. We made the joint the strongest part of the rim using new thinking: rather than the traditional pins or welding, we use longer pins and sleeves. Without the rim’s Achilles heel – weak joints – the chances of rim breakage are drastically reduced. DS 23 and 28 rims use sleeves, DP 25 rims use pins, and our burly DPS 32 rims use pins and sleeves for the ultimate in strength at the rim joint.

True Track Technology™: Our patented True Track Technology process stress relieves, hardens, and fully straightens the rim after it is shaped into a hoop, eliminating the compression and stretching of the alloy’s grain structure that occurs during typical rim shaping. The result is a rim that is round and flat, easy to build up, and which holds its roundness better during use, requiring less tweaking with spoke tension to keep them running round and flat as new.

Eyelets and Drilling: Our rims are drilled concentrically on a single axis so that the rim’s ‘outside’ and ‘inside’ holes are always perfectly aligned. Again, this makes for an easier build because spoke lengths are exactly the same.

Bead Lock System™: Freeride tires run at low pressure are prone to rotate on the rim, eventually tearing the valve stem and causing flats. The patented syncros Bead Lock System™ prevents tire rotation on the rim, and is standard on DS 28 and DPS 32 rims.
