- Today is really exciting.
I'm unboxing the ultimate cross country upgrade kit.
Like all of our unboxing, we're giving this away.
This is a super special one today.
So I've got a set of kit from Syncros.
It's worth over four thousand pounds.
We're shipping this world wide for one lucky winner.
So get involved.
Wait til the end of the video,
and see how you can enter this.
Now this is an amazing giveaway
of some really awesome kit.
Let's start with the most
revolutionary piece in this kit.
Get it?
The wheels.
Now this is the Silverton SL Syncros wheelset.
This all designed to be a system
one piece carbon fiber layup.
Let me get in some of the details of these amazing wheels.
So, most normal wheels are made up
from different components like the rim.
The spoke nipple.
The spoke then the hub.
This is designed to all flow into one another.
So actually this spoke goes into the rim,
and the layup of the carbon fiber...
Actually that spoke is right to the very edge of the rim.
Actually this spoke goes the whole way to the hub,
but also keeps going right the way
through to the other side of the rim.
Just all completely one system.
Let's get into the numbers for
this cross country wheelset.
They're 29.
A hookless rims.
1250 grams for the pair.
So super lightweight,
but they are stiff and strong.
They've got 35 metal deep rims.
That's for strength,
but also for lightweight.
They decided that they can actually have that deep rim.
26 mil internal width.
31 millimeter external width.
So we've got 20 of those carbon fiber spokes.
That are actually 30 to 35% stronger than the alloy spoke.
Pretty crazy really.
We've got the DT Swiss hub internal.
So Syncros decided that why mess with
the best when you've got those amazing
ceramic barrings and that ratchet system.
So that all sits inside that carbon body.
These are called tubeless ever ready,
which actually means there's one
hole and one hole only in this rim.
And that's for your valve.
So, you don't even need any tape.
That's gonna save you a few grams as well.
So Syncros have designed these
wheels with three major benefits.
The first one is faster cornerings.
This comes down through the lateral stiffness.
There's side to side in this wheel.
And it's all down to how this thing is designed.
Check out the spokes though.
They go from the different side of the rims.
They alternate.
So this spoke goes to that side of the rim.
It's actually sandwiched into the layup of the rim.
Then this next spoke comes to the other side.
So actually there's sort of a bracing angle
across the spokes to either side of the rim.
Actually that mounting point goes down the edge of that rim.
So super strong.
35% stiffer than actually a comparable 27 and a half wheel.
Don't forget it's a 29'er.
The majority of this wheel is actually
made from one piece of carbon fiber laid up together.
So you've got the rim, the spokes and these flanges.
Then they're spread.
This senza carbon hub piece actually put in.
What that does it spreads the spokes like that.
Actually puts tension on to these spokes
and that is unique for a carbon fiber wheel.
Now I know what you're thinking, they look super cool,
but tell me about the warrantee.
We'll get onto that at the end of the video.
The second benefit is faster acceleration.
That comes down to the tortional stiffness.
So when you're putting the power through
the pedals and rotating this hub,
how does that get to the rim efficiently?
Again it comes down to that layup.
From that spoke all the way to the hub,
but don't forget actually when you're
peddling you're putting power through that one spoke.
But that spoke actually goes all
the way to the other side of the rim.
So you're putting that power
through two places simultaneously.
Also the way that this sort of spoke pattern works
when this reaches this other spoke,
it's actually sandwiched in there as well.
It's actually completely laid up with the other spoke,
which means you've got this
star grid of super strong spokes.
Actually the virtual spoke then is just there to there.
Compared to a normal 29'er,
it goes right from the rim to that hub.
It's much shorter.
Last but not least Syncros designed
these wheels to be more responsive.
That all comes down to the weight.
Also we're talking about rotational mass.
The further away from the axle
the more important it gets.
This rims actually 25% lighter than the competition,
and the spokes are 50% lighter than the hour equivalence.
That's not even considering there were not using
these spoke nipples on here as well,
which means it's actually 30% less inertia involved
in getting this wheel spinning.
So when it comes to accelerating, stopping
and then getting going again...
Actually that less inertia means
you're gonna use less energy.
Super important for cross country racing.
Crazy amount of technologies gone into this
one piece carbon fiber wheelset.
That is total warrantee.
So you get a two year warrantee with these wheels.
Three year crash replacement system,
which actually means after the first year
you get 50% off the cost price if you need to replace it.
Year two 30%.
Year three 20%.
But in the six months of testing this Syncros
are done with multiple riders,
they've not managed to break a spoke yet.
If that's not enough we're giving more away
in this ultimate cross country upgrade giveaway.
Check this out.
These are the Syncros Fraser iC.
So they integrate a cockpit.
You might have seen something like this
on our Scott Genius bikes.
The Hixon iC.
This is the phrase of the cross country equivalent.
So more carbon fiber wizardry from Syncros.
This is an integrated cockpit.
So, one piece carbon fiber bar and stem.
Super strong.
Super stiff and super lightweight.
These only weigh 220 grams.
Check out the way that they're made.
That's a virtual stem length of 70 millimeters,
but actually see it's much shorter than that.
It's got that sweet forward on the bar as well.
Actually that contact point's a way you place your hands.
It's exactly the same as the 70 mil
alloy bar and stem equivalent.
These come in 60, 70 and 80 millimeter versions.
They're 740 mil wide with a minus
eight degree virtual stem angle.
Plus you get a few little extra bits.
You get a regular top cap.
You get a carbon fiber top cap.
These special spacers.
Also a garmon mount that sits nicely on top.
A once piece carbon fiber bar and stem
that weighs about as much as a normal alloy stem.
It comes in at 330 euros,
but also part of this giveaway...
That's not the end of it.
We also got a carbon fiber saddle to come with it.
Syncros have a number of difference saddle options
depending on the type of riding
you do and how flexible you are.
The Tofino is more of their endurance lines.
It comes in three different models.
Crowmolly, Titanium Rails or of course
carbon fiber we've got here.
Fully stealth and it goes really nice with that bar stem.
Plus there still within SL wheels.
So this is about four thousand pounds
worth of premium cross country catch.
Just imagine what your bike would
look like with this stuff bolted onto it.
We post this stuff worldwide.
So there's no reason not to enter.
To find the link in the description down below.
So Nino Schurter has his very own limited
edition version of these Fraser iC bars.
If you wanna see a bike check with Nino click over there.
If you wanna see a video where I use my Scott Genius
where I'm using the Hexon version of these bars,
so the Enduro version, click over there for
275 versus 29.
