ORTLIEB BLOG PHOTO ASTRAL

We were stoked to follow along on as ambassador Jona aka @TalesonTyres took on some epic rides and ultra-races throughout 2023. We custom built him a couple purpose-driven wheelsets for his Bombtrack bikes – fast and snappy Rolf Prima Hyalite’s for gravel and Astral Cycling Serpentine Carbon for his mountain bike. Both saw everything from social rides to multi-day endurance tests such as the Hellenic Mountain Race. Each style of wheel brings their own ride characteristics to play so we picked the perfect tools for the job on each of his builds.

Top things off with nearly indestructible bags from our friends at Ortlieb and his bases were covered. Check out the photos below to see the builds in all their glory and stay tuned for more wild rides from Jona!
