Dear Gravity - Race Face Atlas Wheelset and SixC 820mm Handlebar Launch - Mountain Bike Press Release

Here at Race Face we have a history steeped in Freeride and Downhill, so it is with much excitement that we release our DH/Park focused Atlas Wheelset and new SixC 820 Handlebar. It’s time to escape the clutches of gravity.

Our all new Atlas wheels are built around the proven Vault hub platform and the asymmetric 6069 welded alloy rims boast a 30mm internal width; from DH racing to laps all-season in the park, Atlas wheels have the strength and durability you’ve come to expect at a weight that rivals carbon competitors.
