EXCESS XLS ALLOY RIM 507X28MM 36H NO BRAKE SURFACE

Product Overview

The EXCESS XLS is a 24" double-wall aluminum rim designed for BMX cruiser bikes using disc brakes or running brakeless. Built from 6061-T6 aluminum with a low-profile aero shape and angled spoke holes, this rim accommodates 24x1.50" or 24x1.75" tires on the 507mm bead diameter standard. The optimized internal geometry balances light weight with structural strength for general BMX use.

Key Features

• 507mm bead diameter – Standard 24" cruiser sizing compatible with 24x1.50" and 24x1.75" tires
• Double-wall construction – 6061-T6 aluminum with optimized internal geometry distributes impact forces and resists denting
• Angled nipple holes – Spoke holes drilled at an angle for more direct spoke alignment, improving spoke tension consistency and wheel stiffness
• Low-profile aero design – Reduced rim height lowers aerodynamic drag while maintaining strength
• Tubeless-ready bead lock system – Internal bead lock profile allows tubeless tire setup when used with tubeless valve, rim tape, and sealant (sold separately)
• Brakeless surface profile – No machined or textured brake track, designed specifically for disc brake or brakeless setups
• Black anodized finish – Single-process hi-polished anodizing provides corrosion resistance and clean appearance

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

This rim is designed for 24" BMX cruiser frames with disc brake mounts or riders running brakeless. The 507mm bead diameter is standard for 24" cruiser bikes—verify your frame and tire compatibility before ordering, as this will not fit 20" BMX bikes with 406mm rims. The 36-hole drilling works with standard 36-spoke hubs in various lacing patterns.

Best suited for riders building or upgrading 24" cruiser wheelsets who use disc brakes or prefer no brakes. The tubeless-ready design benefits riders looking to reduce rotational weight and gain puncture protection through sealant, though tubeless conversion requires additional components not included. The 28mm external width provides a stable tire platform for 1.50" to 1.75" tires commonly used in cruiser racing, street, and park riding. Not recommended for rim brake setups—the brakeless surface profile will not provide adequate braking performance with caliper or V-brakes.
