Swiss Side challenges the UCI's new rim depth rule limiting wheels to 65mm, which would ban their newly launched 68mm Hadron Ultimate.
Rim height has a limited impact on stability, predictable handling and safety. Through the objective measurement of the steering moment, we can firmly state that rim depth has far less influence than tyre width, tyre tread pattern, and the steering geometry of the bike frame.
