Astral
Outback Approach Carbon Disc Brake Wheelset

Rough Roads, Smooth Sailing

For those XL epics that demand a little more. For discerning riders that go all-day (or night), chasing KOMs all the way. When "mixed-surface" rides mean all types of trails and dirt and pavement is just for cars. When you want a smooth, carbon ride, with light weight and no compromises, this is the wheel for you.

This is a wheel for adventuring, and that means getting out there - picking a journey and riding through to the end -- the Great Divide Route. The Oregon Outback. Colorado Trail. For pressing on when the tracks fade. Because single track looks enticing, even on drop bars, and rough roads lead to good things.

This wide 25mm internal hookless-carbon rim pairs best with 44mm to 2.4 inch tires. Astral's pro wheel builders are also hardcore riders that know first-hand that a good adventure requires 100% commitment and gear up to the task and build these hoops to order, just for you.

All Astral Cycling wheels are hand-built in Eugene, Oregon and feature Tubeless Easy rims you can easily set up at home.

For a rock-solid mountain, gravel or disc-road hubset, look no further than the Astral Approach by White Industries.
