Crankbrothers Synthesis Enduro Alloy 2.0 i9 Front Wheel – 29" Boost, Tubeless Ready

Smooth, stiff, and the i9 hubs are top-notch.

This wheel has taken some serious abuse and remains true. The Industry Nine hub is loud and instant. Only downer is the weight, but it's expected for an alloy enduro wheel. Overall, a great upgrade.

I was torn between alloy and carbon, but this wheel performs brilliantly. It's stiff, yet has some give. The 54-tooth engagement is perfect for techy climbs. Super happy with my purchase.

The wheel is well built and rolls smoothly. The only issue is the hub is extremely loud – I can hear it freewheeling from a mile away. If you like that, great. I prefer a bit quieter. Still, performance is excellent.

I put this on my enduro rig and noticed better stiffness and more precise steering. The i9 hub is a big improvement over my stock one. It's a bit heavier than premium carbon, but the price is right. Good buy.

I ride rocky terrain and this wheel has not budged. It's stiff and responsive. The i9 hub engages immediately, giving me confidence. Highly recommend.

It's a solid wheel, but for the price, I expected lighter. It's still better than my old one, but I might save up for carbon next time. The hub is good though.

For the money, this wheel is hard to beat. Strong rim, quality bearings, and the i9 hub is a premium touch. It's a bit heavy but stable. I'd buy it again.

Wheel arrived true and well packaged. Installed easily, and the engagement is quick. Not the lightest, but it feels robust. Good for aggressive trail riding.

The wheel feels great on descents and the hub is super engaging. The rim has taken hits without issue. It's a bit heavier than I'd like, but the durability is worth it. I love it.
