Serpentine Carbon X Wheelset, 29", Astral Approach hubs

The Serpentine Carbon X is a stout, rip-ready 29-inch wheelset built for the rigors of enduro racing and all-around trail slaying. A 30mm internal rim supports your chunky rubber and the stiff, strong rims make for a great handling ride even in the gnarliest of conditions. 

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 rather than titanium.

All Astral wheels feature a Tubeless Easy rim profile for painless tire installation and are hand-built by people that care.
