DUKE Lucky Star HD 6TERS 29″

A rim for the dedicated XC rider

The Lucky Star HD (Heavy Duty) 6TERS aluminium rims offer a modern geometry with asymmetric profile and reinforced structures.
The profiles of these mountain bike rims are designed differently, because the requirements for front and rear wheel rims are not the same.
A rear wheel rim should provide plenty of grip, efficiency, strength and durability.
In collaboration with brothers Absalon and Perrin-Ganier, the front and rear profiles of the 6TERS complement each other for greater efficiency on the trails.

Features

• Tubeless Ready
• asymmetric (Offset) Profile
• hookless rim
• Offset: 2.1mm

Technologies & Features

Heavy Duty (HD)

The HD or “Heavy Duty” design makes Duke rims more versatile thanks to increased impact resistance. This is achieved by reinforcing areas to withstand higher loads.

Hookless Rim

This type of rim is far stronger than the traditional clincher rim. Duke has used this technology with great success, on their rims since 2011

Burp-Free System

The bead of the tyre is held in position irrespective of the tyre pressure and the ground conditions, preventing any risk of the tyre coming off its rim even when giving it full gas in the corners.

Asymmetric Profile

By offsetting, DUKE was able to increase the potential lateral wheel strength and its stability without adding weight. Rim drillings are off-center to improve bracing angles for a stronger, more rigid wheel.

6TERS

The Duke 6TERS concept offers a narrower rear rim than the front rim for more grip and stiffness. Its robustness is preferred instead of low weight.

Wide inner rim

A wider profile rim increases the comfort, for the rider, compared to a similar width tyre mounted on a narrow “standard” rim because of the increased air volume in the tyre.

Tubeless Ready

The Tubeless compatible rims by Duke (UST, Tubeless Ready and Notubes), only require some Duke rim tape and a Tubeless-ready valve. They can also be used in a classic clincher set up (tyre & inner tube).

Maximum system weight: 110 kg!
