Oregon-based wheel and component manufacturer Astral Cycling has released the latest of a series of limited-edition offerings. Two best-selling alloy rim profiles – the Outback and the Solstice – are currently offered in a matte dark grey finish the brand refers to as “Stealth,” a cerakote finish that was requested by SimWorks and Blue Lug in Japan.

The Outback is the company’s best-selling alloy gravel wheelset with a 25mm internal-width. The Solstice on the other hand is a classic box-section measuring 20mm internal designed for modern road riding applications. Rims sell for $169.00 and custom wheel builds are available on request.

The Stealth Grey Solstice and Outback are in stock and available now at Astral Cycling.
