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.
