Description
ASTRAL CYCLING's limited-edition Stealth Grey Series uses Cerakote brand ceramic coating technology from the United States. The high-performance coating film is hard, crack-resistant, and resistant to abrasion and corrosion, and is widely known as a mil-spec (military-grade) coating.
Ceramic-coated matte-finished rims are highly durable even under the toughest conditions, such as hard off-roading, and can be used to build wheels that can withstand long periods of use.
Solstice / Solstice is a highly lightweight and durable aluminum rim created for the ultimate hill-climbing experience. At 405g, it is as light as many carbon rims without sacrificing durability.
Wheels assembled with lightweight and highly rigid rims are light on the outer circumference and easy to turn, and yet they transmit power firmly as you step on them, making them excellent not only for high-speed on-road cruising but also for hill climbing performance. The inner width of the rim is 20 mm, which can accommodate tires from 23 mm to 32 mm in width.
The name "Solstice" refers to the highest or lowest point of the sun, symbolizing the challenge of reaching the pinnacle or peak performance. Its excellent reliability and stability are highly appreciated by handmade bike builders and many gravel riders.
[FEATURE]
All ASTRAL CYCLING rims are designed to maximize tubeless compatibility. The center of the rim has a deep groove called a "Drop Channel" that allows for smooth installation of tubeless tires. The "Tubeless Easy" system, which features a precision-aligned bead seat diameter for easy and safe tire installation and removal, is also used. This system also reduces the risk of bead damage. In addition, the design allows the bead to be easily raised even with a floor pump, making it easy to change tires in your garage or at home, depending on where you ride.
