SMALLER WHEEL, BIGGER ADVENTURE
Ride further, faster and more exciting than ever before
Ride further with the Alta 650B wheelset. Employing the off-road essence of the Alta and applying it to a smaller wheel size, this wheelset is the perfect adventure partner for dreamy gravel and demanding terrain. We created it as part of our #ridefurther movement.

media coverage
"These wheels have had the details sweated to make them not only a top performing set of hoops, but also ones that are extremely easy to live with—two things that don’t necessarily go hand-in-hand.
The lightweight, deep and wide rims make the ride responsive, fast and—above all—fun. 10/10"
Designed to excel when the road turns to gravel, the Alta 650B isn't just for smaller frame sizes. Wider 25mm internal diameter hookless rims support a greater range of tyre widths than its ‘big brother’ the Alta, and support more responsive bike handling when the trail demands it.
Ideal for the gnarlier trails you'll encounter, the Alta 650B is a tubeless-ready disc wheelset that gives riders complete control over their tyre setup, encouraging lower tyre pressures for a more comfortable and grippy ride.
We also offer the option of having dynamo front hubs (SON Delux 12), which provide constant charging for lights so you can #ridefurther for longer. This is an amazing bit of functionality if you plan on using your wheels for multi-day long-distance, or overnight excursions, where the opportunities to charge up are few and far between.
Whether you are bikepacking across the NC500 or adventure riding on the Downs, the Alta 650B will allow you to #ridefurther
