At e*thirteen, we test our wheels rigorously to ensure they meet the highest performance and durability standards. In conjunction with real world testing, we perform a series of specialized assessments designed to simulate real-world conditions and provide detailed insights into how our wheels perform under stress. 

Impact Testing

Our Rim Impact Test measures the energy our rims can withstand before failure, ensuring that they fail in a controlled manner that still allows riders to continue their journey safely. 

Deflection Testing

We aconduct Vertical and Angled Rim Deflection Tests to gauge a wheel's ride characteristics, assessing how much the wheel flexes under different angles to optimize for both comfort and control.

Rebound Testing 

Our Rebound Test quantifies how much impact energy is returned by the wheel, helping us fine-tune the dynamic feel of our products. 

Through these rigorous tests combined with extensive real world testing by both our internal test team and our sponsored World Cup athletes, we ensure that every e*thirteen wheel delivers the reliability and performance that riders expect.
