When you're flying down an aggressive XC line there's no time to decide whether a wheel should be strong or light. Turbine SL is both: a stiff, durable welded alloy rim on Race Face's Vault hub, big-time XC and trail ready.

Highlights

  • Welded 6069 alloy rim, 25mm internal and 28mm external width, tubeless ready
  • Offset spoke beds laced with 28 double-butted straight-pull spokes (2.0/1.65/2.0), 3-cross
  • Vault hub with a stiff oversized shell, wide bearing stance and 3-degree engagement
  • 5 spare spokes included
  • Backed by Race Face's Lifetime Warranty, crashes included

Let the good times roll

The Turbine SL rim is stiff and durable welded 6069 alloy, tubeless ready, with a 25mm internal width. Offset spoke beds are laced with double-butted straight-pull spokes for stiffness, balance and hard-charging, hassle-free performance.

In Vault we trust

The Vault hub has a stiff oversized shell, a wide bearing stance and lightning-fast 3-degree engagement, and it performs ride after ride.

Compatibility & fit

This is a 29in rear wheel. Choose the axle that matches your frame (12x148mm Boost or 12x157mm Super Boost) and the freehub that matches your cassette. The hub takes a 6-bolt disc rotor. This is a single wheel; tyre, disc rotor and cassette aren't included. Fitting isn't included. Our Marrickville workshop can fit the wheel, set it up tubeless and move your rotor and cassette across as a separate service.

Sizes & options

Every option is a black 29in Turbine SL rear wheel. The 12x157 Super Boost version comes with a Shimano Microspline freehub only.

Race Face Lifetime Warranty, crashes included. Race Face covers its wheels for their expected usable life of regular riding, including damage from crashes while you're riding, whether the wheel came on a new bike or was bought as an upgrade. It doesn't cover normal wear and tear such as hub bearings or dings and flat spots in alloy rims, intentional damage, or damage that doesn't happen while riding (a roof-rack strike, for example). For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with Ride Fox Australia, Race Face's Australian distributor.
