The FORGE + BOND 25 XC Cross Country Wheelset is built for riders who demand lightweight speed, precise handling, and durability across demanding XC and marathon terrain. Handcrafted in Utah, USA, this 29" carbon fiber wheelset is constructed with FUSIONFIBER—a next-generation material that replaces brittle epoxies with long-chain polymers, enhancing impact resistance and delivering superior ride compliance over traditional carbon wheelsets. With a 25mm internal rim width, the 25 XC is optimized for modern 2.1"–2.4" mountain bike tires, offering improved traction, cornering control, and lower rolling resistance. The 596mm ERD and 25mm rim depth provide a confident balance of responsiveness and stability on technical climbs, fast descents, and varied terrain. A 3.2mm beadwall thickness enhances durability without weighing you down. This carbon wheelset is built with 28 Sapim CX-Ray bicycle spokes—lightweight, aerodynamic, and exceptionally strong. Weighing just 1455g–1564g, it delivers race-day performance without compromising long-distance comfort or control. Tubeless-ready and equipped with valve stems and rim tape, this XC wheelset is ready to roll from the moment it arrives. It's not designed for triathlon bikes, gravel bikes, or road bike tires like the 700x25c tire or 700x28c tire—but it's a perfect fit for your cross-country mountain bike build. The FORGE + BOND 25 XC carbon fiber wheelset gives you the confidence to ride harder, race faster, and go farther—every single time.
