KORE MTB Wheelset Carbon Engineering for Enduro and Downhill Riding
The 36T ratchet hub engagement system powers you out of tight switchbacks and technical rock gardens with minimal pedal input lag, crucial when momentum dictates survival on exposed terrain. Wide 30/36mm rim widths accommodate aggressive tread patterns while keeping sidewalls tall enough to resist pinch flats on root-strewn trails and rocky descents. BOOST spacing (148mm rear / 110mm front) aligns with modern frame geometry, positioning your wheels directly beneath your body for improved handling balance and confidence through bermed corners. The KORE MTB Carbon Wheelset features 28-spoke lacing that distributes impact forces away from individual spokes, extending spoke life in rocky conditions where standard wheels fail. Tubeless-compatible bead profiles work with vacuum tyre systems to eliminate inner tube friction and reduce rotational mass on climbs where every gram matters.

Wheels look very good quality and look great on the e-bike. Done one gnarly ride in the lakes and they holding up well and spokes still tight and true. Great responsive seller, send me video of wheels being boxes before dispatch.

Set of spectacular wheels, they look well-made and spin very well, they took 2 weeks to arrive in Málaga with the seller’s shipping, so you forget about customs and strange stories. They are already assembled and ready to test, the tires have worn well and I haven’t had any problems assembling them. If you ask if they are worth it, my opinion is yes. Thank you very much to the seller for everything and for the communication. Here are some photos of how they turned out.

Very good wheels. It comes with an HG spare on the rear hub, which is very considerate, and the tires are easy to install. They are of high quality. I installed them on a high-end carbon electric assist full suspension MTB, and my ride became much lighter. With the electric assist full suspension, the overall weight was reduced to around 18 kg, making it quite lightweight. Handling improved significantly. I carbonized the saddle, handlebar stem, and wheels. Now they are my best companions.

They are already arriving in batches. You only need to put on the tubeless valves, tires, latex, and so on. I had no difficulty mounting the tires, I did everything without tools, not even a tire lever did I need to use!
As a gift, 4 spare spokes (which I hope will never be needed!) ), a tape for taping if you need to remove the one already applied (very often, in my opinion, only that weighs 100g for both wheels).
I tried them for the first time today. They slide well, gave me good feelings. They are quite light, comparing them to the previous wheels from the 25mm roval control SL channel.
I wanted to get them because I didn’t feel like spending crazy amounts to have the 29mm channel. I must say that for 253 euros shipped to my home in less than 3 weeks, I can’t ask for more. Now we need to assess the overall durability, especially the bearings. I hope that the impression they gave me at the beginning will remain the same. I recommend it!

For the price (i paid $405 in total with coupons) they are not bad. Why i knocked a a star off is because one of the brake screw holes had bad threads. I just sent the screw in anyways so probably never going to be able to take the brake rotor off now but whatever. The rim is hookless but held my tubeless tire just fine. I’m not that impressed with the machining on the unbranded hubs they’re using.
