Introducing the Ritchey WCS Zeta GX Wheelset 650B, a premium gravel wheelset inspired by Tom Ritchey's 50 years of off-road cycling experience. Designed for optimum performance on gravel terrain, this hand-built wheelset offers reliability and top-notch performance, making it perfect for all your off-road adventures.
The WCS Zeta GX wheelset is a direct descendant of the original Ritchey Zeta wheels, known for their durability and high-quality performance. The new GX version boasts a tubeless-ready design with a wide 25mm inner diameter, making it compatible with wider gravel tires. The rims are constructed from 6066 alloy and feature an OCR offset, giving you a stable and responsive ride on various surfaces.
Equipped with the innovative WCS hub, these wheels come with sealed bearings and center-lock rotor mounts for superior braking performance. The rear hub features a precise Ratchet Driver system with a 360-degree, 36-point engagement, ensuring quick and smooth power transfer on the trails.
The 650B wheelset is designed to support tire sizes ranging from 32-67mm, providing you with the flexibility to choose the best tire for your riding preferences. The hubs are forged with disc thru-axles and sealed bearings, offering a 100x12mm front and 142x12mm rear spacing. Axle compatibility includes 12mm thru-axles for enhanced stability and control.
The freehub is made from lightweight alloy and comes in various options, including Shimano, SRAM XD-Road, and Campagnolo (N3W and backward compatible specs) (Please make your choice). This wheelset is compatible with Shimano 9/10/11-speed and 12-speed road cassettes, SRAM XD/XDR, and Campagnolo 10/11/13s systems (freehub conversion kits sold separately).
For exceptional stopping power, the wheelset is compatible with Centerlock disc brakes (hub center-lock lockrings available separately). The wheels are laced with 28 sturdy DT Competition 2.0/1.8 double-butted spokes, featuring 2x lacing on both front and rear wheels. The 2.0 brass 12mm nipples ensure durability and longevity.
Weighing just 1740g per set (650b) with tubeless tape installed, the Ritchey WCS Zeta GX Wheelset 650B is ready to conquer any gravel ride you embark on. Available in a sleek black finish, these wheels combine performance, reliability, and style, making them a top choice for gravel enthusiasts.
