Information

We have been working with Astral Cycling in Eugene, Oregon for many years, providing White Industries hubs for their Astral-branded wheels.  In 2022 we purchased Astral and made them part of the White Industries family.  Now you can purchase the complete Astral line of rims on the White Industries website.  Hubs and rims in one easy location!

The Leviathan is a high-strength road rim with drillings up to 40 spokes front and rear. It’s for those seeking the stoutest wheel they can find with all the modern features. 

The aerodynamic 32mm rim profile and 20mm internal width offers a stout, aero, yet comfortable rim for the long, heavy-duty haul. Available in rim brake or disc brake options, the Leviathan is a great road option for road tandems or loaded road touring.

Rims will ship directly to you from Astral Cycling in Eugene, Oregon, separately from the rest of your order.

Note: The Leviathan is a road-specific rim designed for 25mm to 32mm tires.  Using wider than recommended tire sizes and/or pressures (see specs below) can reduce the durability and lifespan of any rim.  These rules especially apply with loaded touring bikes and tandems.  If you need to run wider tires, and/or higher pressures, please select one of our rims that better matches those needs.

Features
