The H+Son Formation Face 700c is a true “V” profile rim. Without any stress points in the sidewall, the uniform triangle shape improves the rim’s lateral stiffness. The simple profile shape also saves weight by reducing the distance between the bead hook and the spoke bed.
The Formation Face rim is made using G609 aluminium alloy which is also 30 percent stronger than the 6061 aluminium alloy used in standard rim manufacture.
