The climb is the toll. The line is the reward.

"Trail riding" can mean a mellow afternoon on flowing singletrack. It can also mean eyeing a questionable line, pointing the bike downhill, and deciding the brakes are probably optional.

The new Boyd Cycling Bracken Trail wheelset was built for the second group.

At the center of Bracken Trail is an entirely new heat-treated 6061 aluminium rim extrusion engineered around impact resistance.

The rim incorporates a reverse hook at the leading edge of the extrusion, adding material and support where hard impacts punish a rim most. The result is greater resistance to the kinds of square-edge hits and less-than-elegant landings that can quickly end a ride.

Because sometimes you land exactly where you intended.

And sometimes the wheel needs to take it from there.

Features

Durability
The rim incorporates a reverse hook at the leading edge of the extrusion, adding material and support where hard impacts punish a rim most. The result is greater resistance to the kinds of square-edge hits and less-than-elegant landings that can quickly end a ride.

Quick Engagement
With just 0.5 degrees of free movement before engagement, the Sixtus rear hub responds immediately when power hits the pedals. Ratcheting through technical climbs, hopping over obstacles, or getting back on the gas between features happens without waiting for the drivetrain to catch up.

Stronger at the Bend
A stronger rim and hub deserve spokes built for the same abuse. Bracken Trail debuts a spoke design featuring a reinforced elbow that delivers a 30% increase in tensile strength, strengthening one of the most highly stressed areas of a traditional spoke.

Trail
The Bracken Trail for the rider who pedals to the top but chooses the harder line on the way down. The rider who sees a trail feature and wonders what happens if they hit it a little faster. Ask 100 people what "trail" means, and you'll get 100 answers. The Bracken Trail is ready for your definition of trail riding.
