Berd's new HAWK27 wheels are the product of a partnership between Berd and We Are One Composites to deliver spokes and rims made entirely in North America. We Are One is located in Kamloops British Columbia, Canada, and Berd is located in Hopkins, MN.
Ideal for cross country and trail racing and riding, the new HAWK27 wheels combine lightweight and vibration damping Berd spokes with 27 mm internal carbon rims.
The HAWK27 rims are only 18 mm deep, which are the lowest profile 27 mm internal double-wall carbon rims ever made. This unique design yields engineered radial compliance and high lateral stiffness. The combination of vibration damping Berd spokes and our new radial compliant rim means more speed over rough terrain and less rider fatigue.
With a wide 3.75 mm rim lip, Berd's new rims spread out tire/rim impacts across a larger surface area to prevent tire and rim damage during acute impacts.
The HAWK27 wheelset is built around either the new Berd Talon Hub featuring hooked hub flanges designed to work specifically with Berd spokes along with a dual-sprung ratchet freehub in either 36t or 54t or Industry Nine Hydra Centerlock hubs, delivering almost instantaneous engagement and long-term reliability.
These Berd wheels are also available to be ordered using the Onyx Hook Flange Hub System for a $100 upcharge. This option is available in 12x142 (including single speed), 12x148, and 12x157 super boost rear spacing. Please allow up to 4-6 weeks for delivery of wheels with Onyx hubs.
