Full details
This MTB Rear Wheel - KX COMP is designed for riders looking to upgrade or replace their existing rear wheel for improved durability and reliable trail performance. Its doublewall alloy rim and 6-bolt disc brake hub offer strength and stability, making it suitable for mountain biking, commuting, and general off-road use. A potential limitation is its compatibility specifically with screw-on freewheels (6 or 7 speed), which may not suit all modern drivetrain setups.
