The wheel is true and the bearings are smooth. Great for road runs; on climbs they don't accelerate as effortlessly as lighter MBT wheels such as the American Classic MTB series, nonetheless, the 420's are the best do-it-all wheel set on the market.
A new edition to the all star American Classsic Mountain wheelset lineup is the highly touted American Classic MTB Disc Tubeless 26" Wheels, which is an improvement on an already famous design. The improved rim is wider, stiffer and supports the tire for improved control. The sub-350g disc specific aluminum clincher rim features bead barb technology - which hooks the tire bead to keep the tire in place.
