The new 2012 Magnesium is state-of-the-art wheel technology,
unparalleled in the cycling industry. It is the fastest accelerating,
best cornering race wheel available with the convenience of using
clincher tires. Magnesium is lighter than aluminum and more durable than
carbon, with a special ride quality of its own. The
decreased rotational weight of Mag rims allow the rider to reach speed
quickly and hold it longer with lower energy output. The new wide
semi-aero profile, 22mm wide × 22mm deep, is stiff and includes a new
brushed brake track for improved braking performance. Bill Shook
selected a new special magnesium alloy for its
corrosion resistance. New Series 3 spoke system and AC Race Blade
spokes. Mags have the unique ability to dampen high frequency road
vibration for a smooth ride.
Available March 2012
American Classic is taking the first steps into new technologies and
ideas. Bill Shook believes that a rider’s cycling experience can be
transformed with new designs and new materials. This is not the easiest
choice and most are not brave enough to take a new path. Why magnesium?
Magnesium is treasured in the automotive and aerospace industries for
its lightness, strength and ductility. Magnesium is the perfect choice
to meet our customers’ demand for high-strength, lower weight bicycle
rims. Magnesium is lighter than aluminum and more durable than carbon
fiber. Known for it´s dampening qualities, magnesium absorbs road shock
and vibration. Bill Shook worked tirelessly studying the metallurgy of
magnesium to find the right magnesium alloy. Bill developed proprietary
manufacturing processes to roll-form thin-walled magnesium extrusions
into clincher rims. As one of the final manufacturing details, each
rim receives a protective coating inside and out to resist corrosion.
Developing magnesium technology resulted in our unique 300 gram
magnesium rims that are stiff, strong, accelerate quickly,
corner hard and naturally dampen high frequency road vibration for a smooth ride. Try them to transform your cycling experience.
