Freedom Disc Rims get great reviews!

In their recent hub/wheel test What MountainBike Magazine had this to say about the Halo Freedom Disc Rims:

Halo Freedom Disc: 8/10

Putting wheels under riders like legendary hucker Josh Bender and current UK freeride superstar Chris Smith has taught Halo a lot about making wheels tough. This means even their mid-weight Freedom Disc rims are seriously sturdy hoops. Over the past year or so these eyelted, deep section hoops have proved very capable of withstanding repeated heavy hits, ugly jumps and general freeride hammer and they suit big riders perfectly.The 28mm rim width fattens up 2.2 – 2.35in tyres well too, although the very stiff rim meant we’ve had to use slightly higher than normal pressures to stop pinch flats. It does create a noticeably more accurate wheel than XC hoops though, especially in heavy side load or random rock garden situations. It’s also available in white powder coat (£39.99) or a 29er size".

Performance – 8/10

Versatility – 9/10

Life – 7/10

Value – 7/10

Overall - 8/10

Verdict: Tough and sturdy mid-weight, mid-price all-mountain rim.
