From Trailhead to Podium
HollowGram wheels engineered with hookless rims bring lots of advantages: they save weight, they create stronger rims, and they help create a better seal for running tubeless tires. But the biggest appeal of hookless rims is that they enable greater tire volume once inflated, so you can run lower pressures for greater comfort and control, gaining speed and traction.
HollowGram SL wheels rise to even higher speeds. Top-shelf DT Swiss Aerolite spokes are paired with custom HollowGram hub shells. Ultra-reliable DT Swiss 240 EXP internals at the rear bring a 36-tooth freehub ratchet for instantaneous pedaling engagement while minimizing mechanical drag. In HollowGram speak, SL means weight is lowered, responsiveness is increased, and efficiency is maximized.
The XC-27 rim design offsets the spokes by a few millimeters, perfectly balancing spoke tension to handle the asymmetric forces imposed under pedaling and braking. The result is better response, greater reliability, and more control.
