We're really excited to be working in partnership with NEXTIE to bring you some truly unique and badass carbon fatbike wheels. Seriously, this is one of the coolest projects we've launched at Wren Sports
NEXTIE is working with us to bring you their premium singlewall fatbike rims but with some altered specifications - like 36-spoke holes and a bigger valve hole diameter - laced up to our No-Nonsense Extreme Torque Hubs.
*** Each wheel is built to order and hand-laced in the USA, so delivery times vary depending on NEXTIE's development pipeline, but on average delivery times for a wheelset take somewhere between a month to a month and a half. ***
Mix & Match Wheelset Program
Flat $1450.00 for the wheelset of your dreams. Choose from dozens of potential wheel diameter, rim width, and hub spec combinations. Mullet build? No problem.
Hell, get crazy and order a 24"x120mm wide rear wheel and a 29"x90mm front wheel hyper-mullet setup... just be sure to send us pictures of whatever monstrosity you're building when it's all finished.

NO TAPE, Tubeless Ready Out of the Box
Every spoke is seated in a neoprene bonded stainless washer. There is no need for tubeless tape, ever.
Note, these wheels are not compatible with tubes.
Schrader Body, Presta Head Valves
Yes, we did design our own custom valve just for our wheels. Get the best of both presta and schrader valves in one package:
- Stronger overall valve with beefier body
- Bigger internal bore diameter for increased airflow for tubeless setup
- Presta core convenience
- Built from brass to last a lifetime
High Tension, 36-Spoke Wheels
Our wheels are built with 36, 13 gauge (2.3mm dia.) spokes. Most wheels use smaller 14 gauge (2mm dia.) spokes. We use brass 14mm Solid Lock Nipples that physically help retain spoke tension in their design, in addition to using spoke prep.
Chromoly Star Ratchet Freehub
Our rear hubs are the only chromoly steel star ratchet equipped hubs you’ll find anywhere. Star ratchet design is light, strong, and incredibly low friction compared to traditional pawl freehubs. Chromoly steel allows us to produce a SIGNIFICANTLY stronger freehub than the aluminum variants that are commonplace. Even utilizing chromoly instead of aluminum for our freehubs, our hubs still come in at remarkably light weights. We also offer a 54t high engagement ratchet upgrade.
Rear hubs come 197mm stock, however, end caps are available for 190mm configurations; 12mm through axle. Front wheels are 150mm hub width with 15mm through axle.
Singlespeed Hub Option
We manufacture the world’s only Singlespeed HG 197mm fatbike hub. This hub sports our same star ratchet design, only in a stronger and more streamlined package. This hub has symmetrical hub flanges, allowing for stronger wheel building.
Ideal hub for middrive e-bikes or gearbox equipped bikes.
