The new 10" front wheel protectors from KB OPTIKS are not only effective and stylish. They have been designed to address mechanical issues encountered on the track. These are stresses reported by top-level female riders and racing teams in the world of mountain biking.
They consist of three 6061-T6 aluminum fasteners that remain bolted to the "BEADLOCK RING" to prevent damage to the wheel's threads and air leaks. The carbon fiber cover matches the shape of the fasteners for a clean look and features three ventilation holes and an X-TRACK fan on the back to create positive airflow inside the wheel. This provides fresh air to the brake components, which generate a lot of heat during operation, thus preventing brake overheating.
