Xct29 Boost Synthesis Alloy MTB RIM Brake Wheel

Mountain bike trails across India — from the rocky descents of Leh to the rooted singletrack around Coorg and the loose gravel climbs near Pune — demand wheels that can handle real punishment. The Crank Brothers Xct29 Boost Synthesis Alloy MTB RIM Brake Wheel is built for exactly this kind of varied, demanding terrain, offering alloy construction with Boost spacing and a precision hub for confident 29er performance.

Use Cases

Daily training. Durable rim and reliable hub bearings for repeat training use.

Race day. Aerodynamic depth and weight-optimised construction for competitive efforts.

All-rounder. Versatile depth and width for road, gravel, or all-road riding.

Our Take

For Indian MTB riders tackling everything from Lonavala's technical trails to Ooty's forest paths, the Xct29 Boost Synthesis represents solid value at Rs. 18,600. The alloy build handles heat, dust, and the occasional creek crossing without complaint. Rim brake compatibility keeps maintenance simple in areas where disc service is less accessible, and Boost spacing adds stiffness that matters on punchy, uneven climbs.

Sizing for Indian Riders

This is a 29-inch Boost-spaced wheel — confirm your frame accepts Boost axle spacing before ordering. Boost front (110mm) and rear (148mm) hubs are common on modern hardtails and full-suspension bikes. Rim brake variants require alloy rim pads; verify your fork and frame have rim brake mounts. Check maximum tyre width clearance with your specific frame.

Compatibility Notes

Designed for Boost-spaced frames with rim brake mounts. Verify front and rear axle spacing matches your fork and frame. Use alloy-specific brake pads — do not use carbon-compound pads on this rim. Cassette body compatibility should be confirmed with your drivetrain. Clean rims regularly in monsoon conditions to maintain braking performance and extend rim life.

Pairs Well With

Complete your MTB build by pairing these wheels with a quality 29er MTB tyre suited to Indian trail conditions, a reliable rim brake set for consistent stopping power, a cassette matched to your drivetrain, and a track pump with a pressure gauge for tyre management on varied terrain.
