Astral Cycling Viper

Eats single track for breakfast

The 25mm internal width Viper rims were designed for mountain bike builds but are a versatile crossover for adventure builds where gravel meets the dirt. This ASYM alloy rim has an offset spoke bed that enables it to be built with a greater bracing angle and more even left to right tensions. This results in a stiffer and more durable build on any disc brake wheel. Available in 29” and 27.5”.

We’ve paired this tubeless ready rim with hubs from our long-time USA made partner, White Industries. All Astral wheels feature a Tubeless Easy rim profile for tire installation that you can set up with a floor pump or even a hand pump. All Astral wheels are hand built in Eugene, Oregon USA.

  • 29" or 27.5" Asymmetric alloy clincher - Disc specific
  • Weight: 29" - 1730g / 27.5" - 1665g
  • Spoke count: 28/28
  • Spoke type: Sapim Race
  • Rim Width: [ex] 28.5mm, [in] 25mm
  • Hubset: White Industries XMR 6-bolt Disc
  • Freehub: CNC Machined  6al4v Titanium- Shimano 10/11 spd or SRAM XD
