Why We Like The Forge + Bond 30 EM i9 1/1 29in Boost Wheelset
When we are looking for a top-tier wheelset, the Forge and Bond 30 EM i9 1/1 29in Boost Wheelset is a solid choice. These wheels feature a premium carbon fiber laminate that is made with FUSIONFIBER, a long-chain polymer that replaces the use of toxic epoxies to make for a more durable and environmentally friendly wheel. Industry Nine 1/1 hubs give us the performance boost we have been looking for and provide 90 points of engagement so we can quickly put power to the pedals when we are on a technical climb. NXS technology optimizes the strength-to-weight ratio of these wheels by removing excess material and keeping reinforcements where they are needed most for the best balance of low weight and durability.

Wow
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Quality is really amazing on these wheels. Not to mention the sustainability efforts from Forge+Bond. These are some of the best wheels I have ridden, stiff and responsive, can absolutely take a beating, they look amazing. These certainly live in the peak of the high end category.
