Ursus always strives for quality and builds wheels and accessories for MTB bikes using the finest materials and the most advanced technologies. But one of our key goals is also to balance quality and price , taking into account the diverse needs of cyclists, even those just starting out in this discipline.
In this article we present the perfect MTB wheels and handlebars for you if:
- are you on your first mountain bike ride , or
- you can only go out on your mountain bike occasionally .
First, however, we want to give you some useful tips for choosing the most suitable mountain bike accessories for you, balancing performance and cost needs.
Wheels for your first MTB ride: which ones should you choose?
If you're new to mountain biking or have a sporadic relationship with it, you'll probably prefer an affordable wheelset . We want to reassure you that this doesn't mean you have to sacrifice quality and performance.
We simply suggest you choose aluminum wheels : even if they are a little heavier and less responsive than carbon wheels, a well-designed and manufactured aluminum MTB wheel can represent the right balance between performance and savings.
As you progress in the MTB world, become more consistent on your rides, and perhaps even start competing, we suggest gradually investing in racing accessories and wheels.
Ursus aluminum MTB wheels are of the highest quality. Like the carbon wheels used by pros in competitions, the wheels for amateur cyclists and beginners also feature Ergal 7075 aluminum hubs, with high-performance, extremely smooth ball bearings . They are designed to resist wear and tear and dirt buildup longer: this feature reduces maintenance requirements and, more importantly , extends the product's lifespan , making the purchase advantageous in the long run.
Here are the Sparks: the Ursus wheels for getting started with mountain biking
We built the Spark wheels with athletes in mind who are taking their first steps (or rather, their first rides) in mountain biking, but want to use quality wheels right away.
These wheels are very well-balanced , making for a safe ride. One of the things mountain bikers appreciate most is that they are quite light and stiff aluminum wheels , with a good level of responsiveness. Together, the wheelset weighs just over 2 kg.
They mountXD30 hubs for Center Lock , which are perfect for all MTB disciplines where reliability and efficiency are required: enduro, freeride, etc.
The MTB handlebar for improved control: Magnus H200
The Magnus H200 handlebar is the model that we at Ursus recommend to new athletes in mountain biking disciplines, since it is designed specifically to give the cyclist better control of the bike.
All Ursus MTB accessories are made according to an innovative design and by choosing the most innovative materials, with the aim of reducing weight and optimising performance in competition .
From this perspective, the Magnus H200 handlebar is the most balanced solution if you're just starting out on mountain biking: made of aluminum, it weighs just over 300 grams and is very affordable. In other words, it's a high-quality choice, yet affordable, ideal for discovering and growing your passion for mountain biking.
