Last year @crankbrothers introduced the Synthesis line of carbon wheels, and in doing so they really brought to light how some added compliance in a front wheel can be a very beneficial thing. Pair that with a stiffer rear wheel and you get a bike that simply rides better through most mountain bike terrain - something Crankbrothers has proven with lots of blind testing. Today they are excited to unveil the more affordable aluminum counterpart, and we're joined by @mtbsavant5414 for a first look and first ride.
Synthesis Alloy Wheel Highlights:
- Available in Enduro, Cross Country/Trail, and E-MTB models
- Aluminum rims

- Offered in Boost hub sizes
- Available as a set or individually
- MSRP as tested: $299 front, $499 rear (E Alloy with I9 hubs)
