Frequently asked questions
What tire sizes work best with these wheels?
The Next R 36 wheels feature a 36mm internal rim width, which is specifically designed to properly support wider tires. It’s recommended for use with 2.4” to 2.8” tires to maximize traction, shock absorption, and stability.
Which cassette bodies are compatible with the rear hub?
The rear hub is designed to be highly versatile and is available in configurations to support the following cassette standards:
- HG (Hyperglide)
- XD
- Micro Spline
When selecting your wheel, please ensure you choose the specific version that matches your current drivetrain setup to ensure perfect compatibility.
Does the 3X lacing pattern improve wheel stiffness?
Yes. The 3X lacing pattern is specifically engineered to provide an optimal balance of structural integrity and power transfer. By using a 3-cross layout with double-butted straight-pull spokes, these wheels effectively handle the high torque of aggressive trail riding and E-bike motor systems, ensuring the wheel remains stiff and responsive under heavy lateral and vertical loads.
Will these wheels provide better stability at high speeds?
Absolutely. Riders have reported that the R 36 platform offers insane traction and stability at speed. When paired with high-volume tires (such as 2.6-inch variants), the rim design enhances your bike’s handling characteristics, allowing you to maintain control through technical terrain and aggressive descents.
Are these wheels easy to maintain after heavy use?
The wheels are designed for real-world trail conditions and are generally low-maintenance. While spoke tension should be checked periodically after intense seasons—such as trips to bike parks or rugged natural terrain—the system is straightforward to service. Adjustments like tightening spokes are simple, ensuring you spend less time in the garage and more time on the trail.
Does the carbon layup affect ride quality?
Yes, the optimized, unidirectional (UD) carbon layup is engineered to provide a superior balance of strength, weight, and stiffness. This construction allows the wheels to absorb trail obstacles effectively while remaining rigid enough for aggressive All-Mountain and enduro riding, ensuring a predictable and responsive feel on technical terrain.
