Introducing the RyanBuildsWheels MTB Bombers – a high-end, handbuilt and custom mountain bike wheelset for XC, enduro and trail riders.

An RBW favourite, these handbuilt mountain bike wheels are bombproof and ride beautifully on the trail.

Rims

The RyanBuildsWheels MTB Bombers are available with four rim options to suit mountain bikes of all shapes and sizes.

• 25mm XM421 – fast, responsive and lightweight trail mountain bike wheels.
• 25mm EX471 and 30mm XM481 – do-it-all enduro mountain bike wheels.
• 30mm EX511 – bombproof mountain bike wheels that are perfect for enduro, bike parks and aggressive riding.
• 30mm FR541 – bombproof, hard-hitting mountain bike wheels for downhill, freeride, bike parks and big hits.
• 25mm wide mountain bike rims are ideal for tyres up 2.4″.
• 30mm wide mountain bike rims accommodate 2.0″ to 2.8″ tyres, giving a more generous footprint and less ‘bulb-shaped’ tyre profile.

120kg total system load on XM421 trail rims with all others being rated to 130kg.
The FR541 has a total system rating of 140kg.

All our wheels come equipped with two layers of high-end tubeless tape, professionally installed free of charge.

Hubs

The RyanBuildsWheels MTB Bombers come with a choice of hubs, our favourite being the brand-new Hope Pro5. UK-manufactured, the Pro5 is unbeatable in all conditions, super reliable and can be easily serviced. 108 POE as standard, e-bike ready Steel freehubs bring a sturdier 54 POE internal setup to the party.

We also offer Bitex hubs with 6-pawl freehub and TPI-sealed bearings throughout. They are weatherproofed for maximum durability and equipped with large flanges, increased bearing sizes, and a sturdy freehub body for a stiffer wheelset. Sturdy steel freehubs also available here as well as options for beefy steel axles for riders who hit hard.  I also offer Bitex’s boost hubs in a variety of colours AND centrelock options.

Spokes

Butted spokes are a great choice for performance and longevity at a lower cost. For light riders under 75kg or those with good technical ability, Sapim D-Light can offer weight savings, while Sapim Race is a good all-around choice.

Riders looking for high-performance wheels can go for Sapim CX Ray, which offers weight savings, fatigue life, and aerodynamic benefits. Bladed spokes aren’t just for road cyclists, they can benefit riders of any discipline seeking better performance.

Nipples

Nipples come in a range of colours, including full stealth black, bright anodized colours, or custom-coloured highlights on either side of the valve to make these wheels uniquely yours.
