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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToray T800 \u0026amp; T700 Carbon Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium Japanese carbon fiber delivers an elite strength-to-weight ratio trusted by top-level riders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision-Drilled Spoke Holes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Advanced drilling technology ensures an optimal spoke path, minimizing stress on spokes and nipples for superior wheel integrity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100 psi Max Pressure Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered to handle high tire pressures, keeping performance consistent and reliable under race conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24 or 28 Spoke Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose the spoke count that best matches your build goals - more spokes for added strength, fewer for reduced weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBMX Race Specific Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purpose-built geometry optimized for the demands of BMX racing, not adapted from road or mountain cycling platforms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight \u0026amp; Stiff:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon construction minimizes rotational weight while maximizing power transfer - critical for explosive BMX starts and sprints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Wheel Durability:\u003c\/strong\u003e The optimized spoke path design distributes load evenly, extending the service life of the entire wheel system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18\" Rim Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits 18\" BMX setups, ideal for younger competitive racers or riders who prefer the 18\" platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpoke Count Options \u0026amp; Which to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24 Spoke:\u003c\/strong\u003e The lighter configuration, reducing overall wheel weight for maximum speed and acceleration.

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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRim Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCarbon Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToray T800 \u0026amp; Toray T700\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Tire Pressure\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 psi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpoke Options\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 or 28 spoke\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpoke Hole Drilling\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrecision-drilled for optimal spoke path\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAvailability\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-order\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eAre these rims available to purchase now or are they a pre-order item?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe Outburst BMX 18\" Carbon Rims are currently available for pre-order.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eAre these rims compatible with standard BMX tires and tubes?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eDo I need special brake pads for carbon rims?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes - 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.
