Technologies of the Spank 359 VibroCore Wheels
VibroCore
VibroCore™ is a proprietary, biodegradable, complex foam core that reduces vibrations. The low density, pressurized core performs a similar function to the soft tissue inside bones, increasing inner wall strength and absorbing vibrations. While adding just 40g to the overall weight of the rim, VibroCore foam core increases torsional strength and increases the overall fatigue life of the rim, meaning high durability at a remarkably low weight. In fact, VibroCore facilitates modern rim designs with thinner wall thicknesses in some areas, without any negative effect on strength and resilience.
Oohbah™
Spank's unique patented Oohbah profile with inverted tube well increases rigidity immensely compared to other rims currently available. Additionally Oohbah™ allows to optimize the design and drastically reduce weight to offer the toughest performance hoops in their price to weight ratio.
BeadBite™
BeadBite creates more contact between sealing rim and tire bead, so that no air can escape, no matter how much the tire moves. It also ensures that the tire is firmly anchored to the sealing rim and do not slip anymore.
