Rapidé AR22-21 Road Plus (650b) Wheelset

Many Modern Gravel bikes have the ability to run 700c wheels with tyres in a 40-45mm width range and alternatively 650b wheels with tyres up to 2.1″ (53mm) for more traction, comfort and off road ability.

The Rapidé AR22-21 Road Plus (650b) Wheelset is designed to be light enough to race yet strong enough to ride everyday on or off road utilizing tyres up to 2.25″.

The Rapidé AR22-21 rims have a tubeless ready profile for easy tubeless set up, 21mm internal – 26mm external plus hook beads designed to prevent the tyre burping at lower pressures.

The Rapidé Ultralight PRO Disc hubs have quick release and thru-axel adapters front and rear to make them compatible with just about any bike.

Build options include brass nipples in black or silver and alloy nipples in a full range of colours plus Alpina Double Butted or Bladed spokes.

The light weight cassette body has four pawls for strength and a quick 10° engagement. Available in Shimano HG, Micro Spline, SRAM XD, XDR and SunRace patterns.

Rapidé AR22-21 wheels also come with tubeless rim tape and tubeless valves already installed.
