The UD (unidirectional) carbon weave is optimized for vertical load handling, delivering maximum stiffness per gram. At 279g, it represents the lightest option for competitive disc-brake BMX racing. The brakeless profile works as front or rear rim on modern disc-brake systems, enabling complete bike weight optimization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToray T700 Unidirectional Carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e – High-modulus unidirectional fiber optimized for vertical load paths;

Spoke tension must be maintained at or below 115 KGF to prevent rim stress and potential cracking. Check wheel trueness before each race. Do not exceed 110 PSI tire pressure. Store and transport rim carefully in padded wheel bag to avoid direct impacts. Inspect regularly for cracks or damage. Front and rear versatility allows wheel swaps between positions if one requires inspection or repair. Professional wheel builder recommended for initial build and any future truing or spoke adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIKON carbon rims are some of the lightest carbon rims on the market, but strength has not been sacrificed. Made from a T700 unidirectional weave manufactured by Toray, the leader in the field, more resistant than other 3K weaves, all for a featherweight 280g per rim! A comparable alloy rim of the same size \/ width weighs 350g, which saves you up to 140g for a pair of rims!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRims without a braking surface can be used as a front rim but also a rear rim when using a disc brake.
