The Saltplus Mesa Aero rim is built for riders who demand more than average and want to fully explore the freedom of BMX riding—whether it’s street, park, or dirt. It’s made from 6061-T6 heat-treated aluminum, one of the most trusted materials in the industry: lightweight yet impressively strong. The T6 process increases material stiffness and fatigue resistance, making it much less prone to dents even under heavy abuse.
With a double-wall construction and internal reinforcements, the Mesa distributes impact forces more evenly, resulting in a more stable, durable ride. The welded seam is a full cross-section joint that’s been smoothed down for a clean look and precision fit—allowing for more accurate truing and a stronger overall build. The spoke hole layout is designed for minimal deviation and long-term spoke tension stability.
Unlike many rims built exclusively for brakeless setups, the Mesa is fully compatible with brake use. The sidewalls are designed to provide a reliable contact surface for brake pads, making it an excellent option for riders using a U-brake setup. Saltplus has a strong reputation for producing well-designed, durable BMX components—and the Mesa rim is no exception. This is a rim you can count on, no matter how hard you ride.
