30 EM i9 Hydra 29in Super Boost Wheelset

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"These wheels hit the sweet spot between comfort and performance. Whether I'm plowing through chunky descents or sprinting out of corners, the FusionFiber layup responds without being harsh. With i9’s instant engagement hubs, this setup feels race-ready but still forgiving enough for long days."

The F+B 30 EM wheelset from Forge + Bond blends enduro capability with a ride feel that elevates trail confidence. Built with FUSIONFIBER thermoplastic carbon, these wheels are engineered to outperform traditional carbon rims through enhanced compliance, durability, and environmental responsibility. Unlike resin-bound carbon, FusionFiber’s long-chain polymers absorb vibrations and eliminate harshness, offering a smoother, more responsive ride in any terrain.

Thanks to a Radial Crossply layup and NXS weight optimization, the F+B 30 EM keeps rotational mass low while enhancing lateral and torsional strength. This makes technical climbing more efficient and high-speed descents more stable. The hookless bead is designed for easy tubeless setup and improved pinch-flat protection, while premium hubs from Industry Nine ensure fast engagement and long-term reliability.
