DUKE RIMS FURY STAR HD 6TERS*
HD 6ter rims have a different width between front and rear, reinforced alloy structure. It is characterized by a good lateral rigidity and a very good solidity for a contained weight.
On its wheels DUKE is the exclusive owner of the production tools.
This model inaugurates a new modern geometry. The wheels are provided with an asymmetrical rim profile (as robust as a symmetrical profile), which requires a more uniform pitch angle of the spokes. This optimization of the spoke angle brings a number of advantages. The spoke tension on both sides can be better matched to one another, what is the shelf life of the spokes and the entire impeller conducive. The normally directional lateral stiffness is also adjusted so that the wheel appear rigid in itself.
In 2019, MTB rims profiles are differentiated as we do not ask the rims the same qualities while riding :
A front wheel must give grip, be light, stiff and handy.
A rear wheel must be more comfortable, tronger and offer more efficiency.
Thus the front and rear wheels have different profiles and lay-ups.
In collaboration with Julien Absalon, the 6TERS front and rear profiles complement each other for a greater efficiency in the trails.
Many of you are aware of different needs because you are already using different section tires at front and rear wheel.
The Duke 6TERS* concept offers a wider front rim than the rear rim for more grip and stiffness. Its weight is optimized for robustness.
The rear profile is reworked with a reduced section to improve increase the impact resistance, the constraints being much more important on the back wheel. (*6TERS = sisters = sœurs)
Technology
-
Hookless
This technology has been successfully used on our MTB rims since 2011. It reduces rim weight. Strength is improved. The tire is slightly bigger. Carbon rims are simpler and more economical to manufacture.
-
6Ters
6TERS is a concept of MTB rims differentiated between front and rear: a front wheel must maximize grip (inner width +), handling (rotational weight -) and control (lateral stiffness -). A rear wheel must provide traction, comfort (vertical stiffness-), stability (lateral stiffness +), efficiency (inside width -) and be stronger (reinforcements). Developed in collaboration with Julien Absalon (five-time world champion).
-
AntiBurp
Thanks to this antiburp, the tire bead is held in position at all low pressures and under all loads, so there's no risk of the bead sliding off the rim or losing pressure even when cornering hard. Two edges prevent the tire beads from sliding horizontally towards the inside of the rim. Even after a puncture, the tire stays in place on the rim
-
Tubeless
Our Tubeless compatible rims (UST, Tubeless Ready and Notubes), only require some Duke rim tape and a Tubeless-ready valve. They can also be used in a classic clincher set up (tyre & inner tube).
-
Dynamal
Dynamal is 50% stronger than 6061-T6. Unlike standard alloy blends, Dynamal is a pure alloy, enriched with magnesium-silicon and combined with a confidential metal to harden it. Compared with traditional alloys, Dynamal offers a significant increase in stress and impact resistance, without any reduction in fatigue strength.
-
Polyaxial-drilling
The orientation of the holes of a rim allows a perfect alignment of the nipples and spokes, which brings a better lifetime of the spokes, the rim and the wheel.
-
Offset
Rim offset increases lateral stiffness and wheel stability without adding weight. The rim holes are off-center, improving the spokes brace angles. By better balancing the tensions between the two spoke sides, the wheel's durability is enhanced.
-
Width
A wider rim provides greater comfort for the same tire cross-section, thanks to the greater volume of air in the tire. No need to inflate so much! The greater volume also enhances performance and grip. The bike's stability when cornering is also improved: a wider inner width reduces tire rolling under the rim under lateral loads. Using a wide rim improves comfort and control.
