The ROCKY KOM 28A rims are produced using an aerospace aluminum alloy 20% more resistant and more rigid than the best aluminum alloy used for rims.
This allows to obtain lighter rims, with superior mechanical characteristics.
Rims: ROCKY KOM 28A 29er, internal width 28mm
Hubs ROCKY Boost SP: 144g + 217g.
Spokes: Alpina Blade HyperLite.
Nipples: Pillar DSN ergal.
Number of spokes: 28/28.
Maximum bike system weight: 115kg (rider, bike, clothing and backpack / bags)
Wheelset weight: 1.480g (Blade Hyper Lite spokes).
The sales kit includes:
- ROCKY KOM 28A / ROCKY SP Boost MTB aluminum MTB wheelset.
- 3 Alpina Blade HyperLite flat spokes.
- 3 spare DSN nipples.
- Tubeless tape installed.
- Barbieri Carbonaria valves installed.
The ROCKY KOM 28A rims close the performance gap between carbon and aluminium, with a low weight that's competitive with most carbon rims with these dimensions.
Our aluminum alloy is produced and drawn in Germany and wisely worked in Italy, where the rim is created by a straight bar, then subjected to the Shot Peening process which reduces the surface tensions of the material due to the processing, improving fatigue resistance and durability, and finally anodized and laser etched.

ROCKY KOM 28A 29er
This rim is built for cross country.
The asymmetric design allows to remarkably reduce the spoke tension difference between the two sides of the wheel, with a big advantage of lateral stiffness and stability.
The special inner profile makes the rim easily tubeless convertible using specific valves and tape, not included in the sales kit.
Matt black anodized aluminium 6000 T6
Aeronautic Surface Treatment (AST) eliminates surface tensions of the material, increasing the resistance.

Our wheels are built by hand in house by highly specialized personnel.
The Bikeonline staff uses the best professional tools on the market into each step of the wheelbuilding process. The P&K Lie truing stand is one example, it allows us to check perfect truing through precise decimal comparators (0.1 millimeters accuracy).
We build most of the tools we use, to fit the level of our builds, which require a high accuracy.
The use of different tensiometers as Park Tool, Pillar and DT Swiss allows us to reach the correct tensions of every spokes.
Each wheel is pre-stressed by hand to ensure that nothing has been settling during the early stages of use and that the spoke tension remains constant for a long time even under very high loads.
This product is to be considered produced on request / on order, due to the high customization needed. It is therefore not possible to use the right of withdrawal or the cancellation of an order already confirmed.
