Kanuga FF 27.5 Boost Alloy MTB
Built for riders who wear a full-face helmet and never back down, the Kanuga FF is made to take hit after hit without flinching. Engineered for enduro, downhill, and aggressive eMTB riding, its reinforced alloy rim, reverse hook design, and low-profile shape deliver exceptional impact resistance, confidence, and compliance when the trail turns brutal. Handbuilt around Boyd Sixtus hubs with lightning-fast 612 points of engagement, the Kanuga FF puts power to the ground instantly while standing up to the biggest drops, fastest rock gardens, and hardest lines. When surviving the ride isn't enough, the Kanuga FF is built to charge harder.
Why do I need it?
The Kanuga FF represents the next evolution in strength in an alloy mountain bike wheelset. Designed for riders who ride with a full face helmet (the FF stands for Full Face), the Kanuga FF is meant to handle even the harshest of rides.
The Kanuga FF features a 30mm internal width with a massive 37 external width that has a "reverse hook" to improve impact performance. Low rim profile adds to the compliance, while a generous 4mm spoke offset helps to keep the spoke balance evened out. The top of the rim profile features a flat shape to help protect your tires in the event of bottoming them out. Everything about the Kanuga FF is meant for big travel mountain bikes and long term durability.
This handcrafted wheel is laced with Pillar TB2016 j-bend spokes and brass nipples and features a 4mm spoke offset to ensure better spoke balance. Three cross lacing pattern built to withstand high-torque loads, and the reinforced hookless profile stands up to everything you can send. This wheel spins BOYD Sixtus MTB hubs that feature 0.5 degrees of engagement, quick swap freehub body, press-fit end caps and is compatible with Shimano Hyperglide, Shimano Microspline, and Sram XDR cassettes. The Kanuga FF wheelset weighs in at 2140g and is built to send it!
