The Kanuga FF represents the next evolution in strength in an alloy mountain bike wheelset.
Designed for riders who ride with a full face helmet, the Kanuga FF is meant to handle even the harshest of rides. The Kanuga FF features a 30mm internal width with a massive 37mm external width that has a "reverse hook" to improve impact performance. A low rim profile adds to the compliance, while a generous 4mm spoke offset helps to keep the spoke balance evened out. The top of the rim profile features a flat shape to help protect your tyres in the event of bottoming them out. Everything about the Kanuga FF is meant for big travel mountain bikes and long-term durability.
This handcrafted wheel is laced with Pillar Wing 21 j-bend spokes and brass nipples. The three-cross lacing pattern is built to withstand high-torque loads, and the reinforced hookless profile stands up to everything you can send. This wheel spins Boyd Sixtus MTB hubs that feature 0.5 degrees of engagement, a quick-swap freehub body, and press-fit end caps. It is compatible with Shimano Hyperglide, Shimano Microspline, and SRAM XDR cassettes. The Kanuga FF wheelset weighs 2170g and is manufactured in Boyd Cycling's South Carolina alloy rim facility.
At the core of the Sixtus is a 0.5-degree engagement system. Whether you are ratcheting through vertical rock gardens or sprinting hard out of corners, your power hits the dirt instantly. The Sixtus is engineered to eliminate excessive drag so you stay fast when coasting. Equipped with wider pawl profiles to increase surface contact against the 102-tooth driver ring, the system handles brutal torque and aggressive gravity abuse. The layout relies on a unique steel phasing ring surrounding the 6-pawl mechanism, which strategically staggers pawl engagement for instant engagement without heavy coasting friction.
