Magnesium is state-of-the-art in wheel technology, unparalleled in the cycling industry. The Mag 300 is the fastest accelerating, best cornering race wheel available. Magnesium is lighter than aluminum and more durable than carbon, with a special ride quality of its own. The decreased rotational weight of Magnesium rims allow the rider to reach speed quickly and hold it longer with lower energy output.
The new wide semi-aero profile 22mm wide x 24mm deep, is stiff and includes a new brushed brake track for improved braking performance. Bill Shook selected a new special magnesium alloy for its corrosion resistance. Mags have the unique ability to dampen high frequency road vibration for a smooth ride.
