BERD has released a hubset designed specifically for use with their “world’s lightest” spokes, making it easier than ever to build a custom BERD Spoke-laced wheelset with the rim of your choice. Made from an Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) that has 12x the strength-to-weight ratio of steel, BERD Spokes are said to have an improved fatigue life over their steel counterparts. The material is also said to confer vibration damping benefits to any wheel build. In keeping with that, the new BERD Talon hubs are relatively lightweight too, aimed at XC and Trail riders.
