The wider rim provides additional tire sidewall support and increased grip. The increased spoke count creates a stronger, stiffer wheel than 24-spoke wheels. The 30|XC is designed for speed. It will help you push your rivals and riding buddies to the limit, every lap.

The new 30|XC delivers efficient climbing and powerful descending performance, perfectly suited to the demands of today's XC World Cup racing and modern XC bikes. With increasingly steep and technical courses, the world's best riders need greater control and durability, without sacrificing weight. The 30|XC meets both needs.
For this reason, starting this year the Cannondale Factory Racing team will compete with the new 30|XC on the UCI World Cup circuit.
30mm internal channel
Modern bikes cross country They feature wider tires, more travel, and a geometry that allows riders to push their limits like never before. The 30mm internal width allows for wider tires (2,35-2,5), ensuring better cornering support and greater traction on technical sections.
28 Rays
We've increased the spoke count from 24 to 28. This has improved the strength and precision of our XC race wheels without affecting the final weight.
Degree of Freedom Equipped DT 350
DT Swiss's Degree of Freedom system delivers a tangible increase in performance without any increase in weight, reducing pedal kickback and improving suspension performance. All 30|XC DT350 wheels feature DT Swiss 90 Degree hubs with integrated Degree of Freedom pawls.
