The Salt EX cassette rear wheel is a complete setup where drive feel and structural durability are the main focus. As the parts line of WeThePeople, Salt doesn’t try to reinvent everything, but instead relies on proven constructions that have already been tested in real BMX use.
At the core is a 9-tooth cassette driver that delivers a tight, direct engagement. The slack is minimal, so when you load the pedals, the response is immediate and predictable. The RHD configuration means a classic right-hand drive, with an internal system designed to work consistently and reliably under load.
The foundation of the wheel is the Salt Valon double-wall rim, which is more than just added strength. The profile design and material thickness distribution are engineered to spread impact forces across the full cross-section of the rim, rather than concentrating them in one point. This reduces the risk of deformation and helps the wheel maintain its tension over time. The 36-hole lacing complements this with a stable, well-balanced structure.
Sealed bearings ensure smooth rolling and reduced maintenance, while the included nylon hub guard provides real protection during grinds, not just a cosmetic add-on. Together with the rim tape, this is a setup you can install and ride without constant adjustments—it simply works the way it should.
