Bicycle rim

A rim (12) for a bicycle wheel (10) that includes a tire (14), hub (16) and spokes (18). The bicycle rim (10) generally includes a radially outer tire-engaging portion (34), a radially inner spoke-engaging portion (36), a first sidewall (38) and a second sidewall (40) spaced apart from the first sidewall (38). The first and second sidewalls (38,40) extend between the tire engaging (34) and spoke-engaging (36) portions. The tire-engaging (34) and spoke-engaging (36) portions and first and second sidewalls (38,40) form a toroid. A maximum width of the rim (12) is disposed closer to the spoke-engaging portion (36) than the tire-engaging portion (34).
