Spank's "Bead Bite" technology makes it way into their DH-ready Spike Race 28 and Race 33 wheels for 2016. Don't know what Bead Bite is? Tiny ridges inside of the rim help prevent unwanted burping when set up tubeless. It works so well that Spank is actually updating all of their higher-end wheels to use the special profile, not just the Spike Race wheels.
The Race wheels use a steel cassette body and j-bend spokes for greater durability and easy maintenance, and the hub provides 30-points of engagement. The Race 28 and Race 33 rims measure 23 and 28.5mm wide internally. Race wheels are priced at a very reasonable $499 per set.
