Among the most heavily revamped are the top-end Deemax downhill race wheels which shed a whopping 500g (1.1lb) for a total claimed weight of just 2160g for the pair in the lightest configuration.
The weight comes off from nearly every component: the rims are treated to a new spined Inter Spoke Milling (ISM) treatment, the all-new hubs are more aggressively machined and the stainless steel spokes are now double-butted.
