[First Ride] Race Face Turbine Wheelset

Today, Race Face is announcing an updated version of the Turbine aluminum wheelset, which I am fortunate enough to have been riding for the last few weeks.

Let’s dive in… Details 27.5″, mixed (tested) and 29″ available Boost (tested) and Super Boost spacing 6-bolt brake interface MS, XD (tested) and HG drivers available 28 hole front and rear 30mm rim width Straight pull double butted spokes Alloy nipples Front/rear specific rim profiles with 4mm

Either way, I’ve been wearing this combo quite often in these cooler months and wanted to report back on how it has been treating me… Indy Pant Details Black, Charcoal, Clay (tested) Nylon / spandex fabric blend DWR water resistant coating Zipper fly Ratchet closure Vented thigh/knee
