Excess XLS Carbon Rim 406×32mm 36h With Brake Surface

Product Overview

The Excess XLS Carbon is a lightweight rear rim designed for 20" BMX freestyle and street wheels. Constructed from 3K carbon weave with a high-gloss clear coat finish, this 36-hole rim weighs 318 grams and features a low-profile aero shape with angled spoke holes. Includes a machined brake track for caliper or U-brake compatibility and is tubeless-ready with a bead lock system.

Key Features

• 3K carbon fiber construction – Woven carbon layup provides high stiffness-to-weight ratio with improved impact absorption compared to aluminum

• Low-profile aero shape – Streamlined rim profile reduces weight while maintaining structural strength for street and park riding

• Angled spoke holes – Nipples sit at a more direct angle to the hub flange, improving spoke tension distribution and reducing stress at the spoke bed

• Machined brake track – Carbon-specific braking surface designed for use with caliper or U-brake systems (requires carbon-compatible brake pads)

• Tubeless-ready bead lock system – Integrated bead lock shelf secures tubeless tire beads without additional rim strips when using tubeless-specific tires, sealant, valves, and rim tape

• High-gloss finish – Clear coat over 3K weave provides impact protection and UV resistance while displaying carbon texture

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

Designed for rear wheels on 20" BMX freestyle, street, or park bikes using rim brakes (caliper or U-brake with carbon-specific brake pads). The 36-hole drilling provides added spoke support for trick riding and impact landings. Best suited for riders prioritizing weight savings in street and park applications where carbon's stiffness and vibration damping improve ride quality. 406mm BSD fits standard 20" × 1.50" to 1.75" tires. Tubeless setup requires additional components: tubeless-specific tire, Presta valve, rim tape, and liquid sealant (all sold separately). Not recommended for disc brake setups or aggressive dirt jumping where carbon impact resistance may be exceeded.

Tubeless Ready System - Our rims feature a Bead Lock System, needed for the rim to be Tubeless Ready. With the installation of additional items needed you can get the rim ready for tubeless set up, along with the usage of a tubeless specific tire. With a tubeless set up, you can lighten up your wheels, saveing rotational weight, as well as have a sealant inside your tubeless ready tire to help automatically repair small punctures.
Additional items needed to convert to a Tubeless system include Special Valve, Sealant Rim Tape, and Liquid sealer.

V-Braking Compatible - Designed to be used as a rear rim when using a V-brake.
