Solstice Disc Wheelset, Astral Approach hubs

A lightweight contender.

The Solstice is a light-weight wheel ready to climb. These come in lighter than many carbon wheelsets, without sacrificing durability. 

Our Approach hubset is built for Astral Cycling by long-time partner White Industries. It includes the same internal mechanisms as their classic CLD hub, but features a bomber heat-treated steel freehub body at a nominal 28 gram weight sacrifice.

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