Wheels DUKE Lucky Jack SLS5 285-350g RC-1 Edition / Shimano MS
RC-1 Edition. From 952 g* for our lightest 29-inch XC build. Lucky Jack SLS5 RC-1 Edition pairs our iconic XC rim with Sapim RC-1 textile spokes and DUKE MadMax3 Boost R55 hubs.
This version remains fully configurable: 245, 285 or 350 g rims and 31 or 28 mm internal widths can be selected for both the front and the rear wheel. Our 6TERS recommendation prioritises 31 mm front / 28 mm rear, with 245 g front / 285 g rear for XC or 285 g front / 350 g rear for aggressive XC.
Key processes & technologies:
- RC-1 Edition: Sapim RC-1 PBO (Zylon) textile spokes for vibration filtering, precision and impact resistance
- DUKE MadMax3 Boost R55 hubs: Round Head Ø 5.5 mm interface matched to RC-1 spokes
- SLS5: optimised carbon layup, 10% lighter than SLS4 with 15% more vertical compliance
- SpokeCore: moulded spoke passages for a more homogeneous and more reliable structure
- ImpactGuard: energy-absorbing inserts integrated into the rim structure
- DRC: controlled vertical deformation and rebound for more responsiveness and control
- AntiPinch / AntiBurp: anti-pinch bead design and improved tyre retention under load
- Hookless / Tubeless Ready: optimised tyre volume, grip and tubeless compatibility
Result:
An ultralight, configurable, vibration-filtering and precise 29-inch XC platform - designed to adapt weight, strength and control to the rider’s needs.
* Weight +/- 30 g for a 29-inch pair of wheels in the recommended XC 6TERS configuration, 245 g front / 285 g rear, drilled 24h front / 24h rear, built with DUKE MadMax3 Boost R55 hubs and Sapim RC-1 spokes. Weight varies depending on the selected rim combination.
