Oregon-based wheel manufacturer Astral Cycling has announced a newly revised, now third version of one of its top-selling house-made alloy wheels – the Wanderlust. Known for their versatility and reliability, the Wanderlust profile is among the longest-standing and best-selling wheel lines in the brand’s history.

The Gen 3 Wanderlust has increased its width from 22 to 24mm and adopted a semi-aero profile with a depth of 30mm. The Wanderlust will be offered in three stock build configurations, ranging from $699.00 to $ 1,199.00, or through a custom build configuration. Stand-alone rims are also available for $149.00.

The new rim is hooked, approved for road, gravel, and cyclocross use, and can run tires ranging all the way from 28 to 50mm. The rims are made by hand in Eugene, Oregon, and, like all Astral wheelsets, are built by hand.

See Astral Cycling for more build details.

Oregon-based wheel and component manufacturer Astral Cycling has released another limited-edition wheelset offering, just in time for the Summer season. The new Polished Silver Radiant Disc is a unique road offering blending classic aesthetics with modern features. Built with polished White Industries CLD hubs, these wheels look great on modern road and all-road bikes.

The Radiant Disc is an aerodynamic 32mm deep alloy road wheelset that combines aspects of two of the manufacturer’s favorite models. The Radiant rim profile is based off of Rolf Prima’s best-selling Vigor model, while the silver finish mirrors Astral’s fan-favorite Polished Silver Outback.

The release is truly limited, with only double-digit quantities in stock – some of them already spoken for by OEM and retail partners’ pre-orders. Astral expects these limited-edition rims to sell out fast.

The Polished Silver Radiant Disc are available now as complete wheelsets only. They sell for $1299.00 at Astral Cycling.
