ProX E-Bike Carbon Rims For E-Mountain Bike May 16, 2022

E-Mountain bikeshave found their way into more and more cyclists’ life. With the help of e-power, riders are able to adventure further and ride more aggressively.

However, with more components added (motor, battery, etc), the weight of e-bike is normally much heavier thanregular bikes, which means more workload on the wheels.

Thus, carbon rims for E-MTB should be of better strength and impact resistance than regular carbon MTB rims.

ProX e-mtb carbon rims for e-mountain bike


ProX carbon rims for e-bike are with more layers of carbon pre-preg added to the whole rim and extra reinforcement for spoke hole area. Applying the latest lay-up and manufacturing technology to make the rims stronger, stiffer and more durable.

To make sure our carbon rim are strong and safe enough to be used for e mountain bikes, we do strict UCI impact testings. The detail of such UCI impact testing can be found in below table.

ProX MTB Carbon Rims UCI Impact Test
Test Condition:
1. Falling mass: cylinder shape, weight 22.5kg, with solid rubber pad on the contact surface.
(rubber pad should be in good condition, 10mm thickness, Shore hardness A=50+/-5).
2. Fix built wheel (with no tire) on UCI impact testing machine.
3. Raise the falling mass to specific height from rim surface. (to reach different impact energy)
4. Release the mass, free fall to the rim (the position between two spoke holes).
5. Testing starts from height 272mm (60J), then to 317mm (70J)....until 544mm (120J).
6. Each height test for 2 times, and there should be no any crack or damage on the rim.
