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!

Wildness Awaits

The Outback is designed for long-distance travel on dirt – from xc mtb epics to XL gravel rigs, the 25mm internal width is built for adventuring. We’ve improved the stiffness, strength, and longevity of all our gravel and trail rims by using an asymmetric (ASYM) rim design that improves spoke tension balance by up to 30%.

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