WTB HTZ i35 Rim - 27.5" TCS Tubeless Disc Black 32H

Experience the ultimate in e-bike performance with the WTB HTZ i35 Rim - 27.5" TCS Tubeless Disc Black 32H. Designed specifically to meet the demanding needs of modern e-bikes, this rim delivers enhanced durability and reliability without compromising weight or ride quality. E-bikes offer more distance, more laps, more climbs, and more descents — but all that extra power and weight puts significant stress on components. The HTZ rim is engineered to withstand these increased forces, ensuring your ride stays smooth and controlled no matter how intense the terrain.

WTB has reinforced every section of the rim profile with 25-30% thicker walls compared to standard rims, providing unmatched strength and resilience. Combined with the proven I-Beam center support, these rims can handle the toughest impacts and the most aggressive riding styles without failure. Whether you’re tackling steep climbs or technical descents, the HTZ rim maintains its integrity to keep you moving forward.

Featuring TCS 2.0 Tubeless Technology, the rim is tubeless-ready and includes a preinstalled Solid Strip beneath the tubeless tape. This innovation prevents sagging at spoke holes, creating a seamless interface between rim and tire bead. The result is a more airtight system that requires less air volume and pressure to mount your tire. Plus, Solid Strip protects the tubeless system from punctures caused by broken spokes, ensuring long-lasting dependability.

The HTZ rims also incorporate 4D angled spoke drilling to eliminate binding and lateral loading, distributing spoke tension evenly for enhanced wheel strength. The symmetric outer profile evenly dissipates impact forces on both sides of the rim, while the asymmetric spoke hole drilling balances spoke tension for superior durability. This rim is disc-brake only, optimized for modern e-bike braking systems.

Available in widths from i23 to i35, the HTZ rim offers versatile options for a variety of e-bike types—from e-assist gravel bikes to dual-crown downhill machines—allowing riders to push boundaries without limits. Upgrade your e-bike setup with the WTB HTZ i35 Rim and experience a new level of riding confidence and performance.
