Today SRAM announces a new carbon fiber wheelset that comes in at a lower price. The main difference from the Roam 60 is the slightly narrower rim (25mm internal) width. It’s still hookless and utilizes many of SRAM’s technologies that are laid out in the press release below. Oh, last but not least, it comes with customizable sticker packs in 6 different colors.

EVERYDAY CARBON CHAMP
SRAM’s extremely versatile trail wheel extends its reach this year by adding a carbon rim to the mix. Backed by the rapid engagement of our DOUBLE TIME™ hub, the new ROAM 50’s stiffer, wider-profile carbon rim offers a whole new level of responsiveness, predictability and speed to every ride. The new ROAM 50 is a true mountain biker’s wheel set, whether you’re racing the clock, your friends, the setting sun—or just out enjoying the view.
