Derby helped usher in the wide rim revolution by optimizing their rims for tires 2.3" and wider.
If you are a fan of wide MTB tires you will appreciate the stability and handling performance gained when pairing your favorite tires with a wider section rim. A wider rim opens a tires' profile and changes it from a "round" or "lightbulb" shape toward a "square" shape by widening the base of the tire at the bead. This change in profile can dramatically improve traction and stability.
