The Salt EX front wheel delivers exactly what makes Salt such a solid name in BMX. With its Wethepeople background, it’s not just about branding, but a development mindset focused on real-world use. These parts aren’t made to look good on paper, but to work day in, day out.
At its core is the Valon rim, built with a single wall construction that doesn’t feel cheap or underbuilt. The 36 mm width combined with a 6 mm oversize pin joint creates a noticeably stronger rim structure that holds its shape better under load. This matters especially in street riding, where the rim constantly takes side impacts and pressure.
At the center sits the Salt EX front hub with sealed bearings. This doesn’t just mean low maintenance, but also smoother rolling and longer lifespan. The low flange design optimizes spoke angles, resulting in a tighter, more durable wheel that’s less likely to come out of true.
The included nylon hub guards aren’t just there for protection, they’re actually made to be used. You can grind on them without exposing the hub or spokes to direct damage.
This wheel doesn’t try to be more than it is. It’s a well-thought-out, durable front wheel you can bolt on and rely on to simply do its job.
