Alloy Rim Brake

There is never a bad time to choose an Altamont wheelset. Here is a rundown on the similarities and differences of each option.

Altamont Lite – This wheel is for the rider that seek out the steepest of climbs on their favorite mountain route. The 25mm rim profile and 50g less weight, are a perfect match for when the grade gets steep. Machined brake track provides confidence in the descents.

Altamont – This wheel is for the rider that’s riding rolling hills or flat terrain and spends a lot of time above 18mph. The 30mm rim profile provides an extra aerodynamic benefit when you’re flying along the road.

Both rims are wide enough to properly seat 25-35c tire, with their 24mm external and 20mm inner rim widths. Welded and ground seams provide exceptional braking performance and extra deep anodization hardens and strengthens the rims.

Ceramic Coated Altamont & Altamont Lite – extends the life of the rim, provides exceptional braking performance in any condition with its unique texture, looks awesome with the stealth brake track, and includes Swissstop BXP pads.
