A sleek, fast and light specialist who is in its element especially off the road!
The Duke World Runner Carbon 27 rim has been specially designed for a multi-purpose use on both Gravel and Cyclocross wheels. This is particularly evident in its contemporary jaw width of 22.5mm and its flat 27mm profile.
It will satisfy the demands of the CX racers and those of overnighters and long-distance riders. As well as having a ground-breaking design, the World Runner is light, stiff and durable.
This version is compatible with disc brakes, hence it is featuring the benefits of a lower rotating-mass and inertia. Classic clincher or tubeless ready tires can be mounted.
Features

Technologies & Features
Carbon Manufacturing
Carbon UD (Unidirectional layup) rim (DUKE is the proprietor of all its carbon rim molds), designed, developed and tested at their premises in the Vendée (FRANCE). For the this rim generation, the developers and technicians have worked on 3 points: weight, comfort and aerodynamics. Thanks to the SLS2 technology they have lowered the weight by 10%, due to the use of high modulus fibers and a new process of molding in sealed enclosure with resins of new generation. This process also allows better filtration of vibrations generated by the particle size of the bitumen. The comfort is improved.
Asymmetric Profile
With the appearance of disc brakes on road bikes and the increase in the number of cassette speeds, the drive side flange is getting "pushed" more and more to the interior of the wheel. This normally causes a reduced lateral stiffness due to the slacker bracing angles that result in slower response and greater susceptibility to the impact of crosswinds. At DUKE, to overcome this phenomenon they have come up with an asymmetric (2mm offset) rear wheel design that gives improved bracing angles compared to symmetric wheels and enables us to obtain better balance between the drive and non-drive side spoke tensions for improved stiffness and durability over the long-term.
Tubeless Ready
The Tubeless compatible rims by Duke (UST, Tubeless Ready and Notubes), only require some Duke rim tape and a Tubeless-ready valve. They can also be used in a classic clincher set up (tyre & inner tube).
