Table of Contents
Tune, a name synonymous with high-quality German engineering in the cycling world, has unveiled a striking limited edition wheelset in collaboration with Tekkerz. This exclusive offering promises a unique aesthetic and performance package, designed to turn heads and deliver on the road. Let’s dive into what makes this wheelset a standout piece for discerning cyclists.
Introducing the Tune x Tekkerz Limited Edition Wheelset
This collaboration brings together Tune’s renowned craftsmanship with a distinctive visual flair. The limited edition wheelset is characterized by its eye-catching gold rims, complemented by silver Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes and matching silver spoke nipples. This departure from the ubiquitous black hubs and spokes injects a dose of personality and retro charm into modern cycling aesthetics.
The Heart of the Wheel: Tune’s Nano Hubs
At the core of these wheels are Tune’s brand-new Nano hubs. Designed for versatility, Tune states these hubs are suitable for road, gravel, and mountain biking applications. Positioned below their high-end Yokto hubs,the Nano hubs share a similar design ideology,featuring a conical hub design and straight-pull spoke hub flanges. Despite their advanced construction, they maintain a competitive weight, with the front and rear hubs tipping the scales at a light 290 grams.
Nano Hub Internals and Bearing Options
The rear Nano hubs are equipped with a three-pawl internal system, offering 69 points of engagement as standard. This translates to approximately 5 degrees of engagement, providing a responsive feel.For those seeking even quicker engagement, an upgrade to a 138-point system is available, reducing the engagement angle to roughly 2.6 degrees.
When it comes to bearings, Tune offers riders a choice between standard steel bearings or an upgrade to premium ceramic Enduro XD15 bearings. This option allows cyclists to tailor the wheelset to their specific performance preferences and budget.

Tune is limiting the production of this special wheelset to just 100 pairs, emphasizing its exclusivity. Each of these 100 pairs will feature the distinctive gold rims, silver spokes, and silver hubs.The total claimed weight for the wheelset is an impressive 1390 grams. This is a very respectable figure for a 50 mm deep wheelset, especially considering the use of alloy spokes, which contribute to both strength and a lighter overall package.
