OUTBURST BMX 18" CARBON RIMS
Description
The Outburst BMX 18" Carbon Rims are engineered for riders who demand the best in lightweight performance and uncompromising strength. Crafted from Japan's premium Toray T800 and Toray T700 carbon fiber, these rims deliver an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio that serious BMX racers will immediately feel on the track. Each spoke hole is precision-drilled using advanced manufacturing technology, creating an optimal spoke path that reduces stress on both the spoke and nipple for a stronger, more durable wheel build. Rated to handle pressures up to 100 psi, these rims are built to perform under real race conditions without compromise. Available in 24 or 28 spoke configurations, they offer flexibility to suit different riding styles and build preferences. Whether you're a competitive racer or a dedicated enthusiast, the Outburst 18" Carbon Rims are a high-performance upgrade that speaks for itself.
Key Features
- Toray T800 & T700 Carbon Construction: Premium Japanese carbon fiber delivers an elite strength-to-weight ratio trusted by top-level riders.
- Precision-Drilled Spoke Holes: Advanced drilling technology ensures an optimal spoke path, minimizing stress on spokes and nipples for superior wheel integrity.
- 100 psi Max Pressure Rating: Engineered to handle high tire pressures, keeping performance consistent and reliable under race conditions.
- 24 or 28 Spoke Options: Choose the spoke count that best matches your build goals - more spokes for added strength, fewer for reduced weight.
- BMX Race Specific Design: Purpose-built geometry optimized for the demands of BMX racing, not adapted from road or mountain cycling platforms.
- Lightweight & Stiff: Carbon construction minimizes rotational weight while maximizing power transfer - critical for explosive BMX starts and sprints.
- Enhanced Wheel Durability: The optimized spoke path design distributes load evenly, extending the service life of the entire wheel system.
- 18" Rim Size: Fits 18" BMX setups, ideal for younger competitive racers or riders who prefer the 18" platform.
Spoke Count Options & Which to Choose
- 24 Spoke: The lighter configuration, reducing overall wheel weight for maximum speed and acceleration. Best suited for lighter riders or those prioritizing raw performance on smooth, well-maintained BMX tracks.
- 28 Spoke: Adds additional spoke count for greater overall wheel strength and impact resistance. Ideal for heavier riders, more aggressive riding styles, or tracks with rougher surfaces where durability is a priority.

Why You'll Love It
Outburst has built a reputation among BMX racers who refuse to settle for anything less than race-ready components, and these 18" carbon rims are a prime example of that commitment. The use of Toray T800 and T700 carbon - the same material trusted in aerospace and high-performance cycling applications worldwide - means you're getting genuine engineering behind every gram saved. The precision-drilled spoke holes aren't just a manufacturing detail; they translate directly into a more responsive, more reliable wheel that holds up lap after lap. For parents building a competitive 18" race bike, or for riders stepping up their equipment game, these rims represent a meaningful performance investment. Lightweight wheels are one of the highest-impact upgrades you can make to a BMX race setup, and the Outburst carbon rims deliver that advantage without sacrificing durability. When the gate drops, every detail matters - and these rims are built for exactly that moment.

FAQ
Are these rims available to purchase now or are they a pre-order item?
The Outburst BMX 18" Carbon Rims are currently available for pre-order. You can pay in full at checkout or take advantage of the partial payment option, with the remaining balance due at a later date. Orders will be fulfilled once stock becomes available.
What is the difference between 24 and 28 spoke configurations?
The 24 spoke option is the lighter build, ideal for riders prioritizing minimum weight and maximum speed. The 28 spoke option offers a stronger, more impact-resistant wheel suited for heavier riders or more demanding track conditions. Both use the same precision-drilled carbon rim - the spoke count is the only difference.
What makes Toray T800 and T700 carbon special?
Toray T800 and T700 are high-modulus carbon fiber materials manufactured in Japan by Toray Industries, one of the world's leading carbon fiber producers. T800 offers an excellent balance of tensile strength and stiffness, while T700 is widely regarded for its durability and consistency. Together, they produce a rim that is both lightweight and tough enough for the rigors of competitive BMX racing.
Are these rims compatible with standard BMX tires and tubes?
Yes, the Outburst 18" Carbon Rims are designed to fit standard 18" BMX tires and tubes. They support tire pressures up to 100 psi, which is well within the range of most performance BMX race tires. Always confirm your tire's bead diameter and width compatibility before building your wheel.
Do I need special brake pads for carbon rims?
Yes - if you are running V-brakes or rim brakes on your BMX setup, carbon rims require carbon-specific brake pads. Using standard rubber pads on carbon rims can damage the braking surface and reduce stopping performance. Outburst offers both V Brake Carbon Rim BMX Pads and V Brake Alloy Rim BMX Pads separately for a compatible setup.
