The BOX Cusp Trail wheels are nearly ready. These carbon fiber wheels use a UD carbon with a 3K weave on the edge for impact resistance. In spite of current trends, BOX has decided to keep the hook to help prevent any unwanted burping. The rims have 28 holes and will be paired with proprietary BOX spokes come Interbike.

The hubs offer 144 points of engagement with 3 pawls, will come with both SRAM and Shimano driver bodies, and are easily serviceable. The complete wheelset retails for $1,549. Keep an eye out for an alloy version as well priced at $849.
