Your bike that does all deserves a wheel that'll do the same. The 27mm inner rim width strikes a happy medium on the width spectrum and allows it to provide optimal air volume and casing profile on tyres in the 2.3-2.5" range. The open-cavity rim profile eliminates weight where it isn't needed while also allowing for a smoother ride. The responsive 6-pawl freehub provides 5 degrees of engagement and allows you to ratchet through techy climbs while also providing instant power as you pedal out of corners.
