They have revamped the heavy duty Freeride wheelset named the FR 2350. It comes in a bright red color with some cool graphics. The front is a 20mm with 110mm spacing and the rear has the options of 10mm with 135mm spacing, 12mm with 135mm spacing or the downhill standard 12mm with 150mm spacing and obviously weighs in around 2350g. They were having complaints that the rims were too soft and they were getting chewed up from hard freeriding. The old FR6.1 rims were replaced with the new FR600 SBWT welded rim, it has a new profile and harder alloy to alleviate this issue. The Santa Cruz Syndicate has been thoroughly testing them.

Yes the colors have been changed, but the SBWT wlded rim has a new profile and harder alloy. There was some complaints from riders that the rims were to soft. Perhaps I should have said they were revamped!

Ah.. same new alloy compound for the 5.1 (EX1750 wheelset) rim too?

No the only change to the wheel was the 15mm axle
