RLND UTL1 Front Wheel - 20" | Clincher | Roller Brake | 100mm (Nut Type) - Shimano Nexus HB-IM40 - black/silver

RLND UTL – Reinforced Wheels for High Loads.

The wheels in the UTILITY series were developed specifically for high-load applications. Reinforced rim profiles, heavy-duty hub systems and a sturdy lacing ensure maximum carrying capacity as well as long-term stability, even under intense, continuous stress. Ideal for all fields of use where robust and low-maintenance components are essential: cargo bikes, commercial bicycles and fleet vehicles in daily use.

RLND UTL1 aluminum rim

The rims in the UTILITY series offer durable, everyday reliability and high stability in a compact wheel format. With their hollow-chamber construction from durable aluminum, they provide a solid foundation for stiff and long-lasting wheel systems. The UTL1 model features an inner rim width of about 25 mm, making it suitable for tires ranging from 29 to 71 mm in width.

Shimano Nexus HB-IM40 front hub

The HB-IM40 front wheel hub from the Nexus series is designed for roller brakes and equipped with an integrated brake force modulator (Power Modulator) for controlled distribution of deceleration performance. The durable hub features a machined aluminum housing as well as a classic, reliable solid-axle construction.
