E-mountain bikes place extreme demands on wheels. The combination of increased torque from the motor and the bike's overall weight requires a wheelset that is significantly stronger and more durable than a standard offering. The Crankbrothers Synthesis E-MTB range is purpose-built to meet this challenge. It starts with our proven tuned system but reinforces every aspect for e-bike use. The compliant front wheel, crucial for steering precision, helps to control the heavier bike and keep it on line through rough terrain. It improves traction, which is vital for managing the bike's power on technical climbs. The stiff rear wheel is where the major reinforcement occurs. It is built with a thicker rim extrusion, stronger spokes, and more robust hub internals, often featuring a steel freehub body. This is designed to withstand the immense torque from the motor without failing, ensuring reliable power delivery and long-term durability. This combination gives you the best of both worlds: the nimble, intuitive handling of the Synthesis system, with the added strength and peace of mind required for aggressive E-MTB riding. Available in both high-performance carbon and bombproof alloy, our Synthesis E-MTB wheels are the definitive choice for riders who want to push the limits of what's possible on their pedal-assist bike.
