Nox Composites was founded in 2012 by two engineers who share a passion for mountain biking. The two founders have over 30 combined years of research, development and engineering experience. Both of them are also part-time athletes with experience racing mountain bikes all across the southeast. They both knew firsthand the benefits of carbon fiber wheels but felt the current offerings were lacking in several areas and were at price points that made them unavailable to most riders. They set out to create rims that had all the features they wanted with none of the negatives.

Nox Composites is an engineering and design driven small business. While we’ve grown a bit since our humble beginnings of working out of our garages, we’re still a small team (we like to think of it as agile) and we’re driven to put out products that we and our friends want to ride. We don’t make decisions based on marketing, looks or mass market appeal. We believe in making the best rims and wheelsets currently available and we do that by using well-tested and sound engineering, design and wheel-building principles.
