Halo Ridge Line II 29" Non-Boost MTB Wheels Tubeless Ready 6-Bolt Disc Hubs

The Halo Ridge Line II 29" Non-boost Wheels represent a well-engineered solution for mountain bike riders seeking a balance of durability, versatility, and reliable performance. Designed primarily for trail and all-mountain applications, these wheels feature a thoughtfully measured 30mm internal and 35mm external rim width, accommodating a broad spectrum of modern MTB tyres ranging from 2.25 to 2.8 inches. Their tubeless-ready, hooked bead rim profile ensures compatibility with both tubeless and traditional clincher tyre setups, offering riders flexibility tailored to their preferences and terrain demands.

Hand-built with precision, the Ridge Line II wheels utilise 32 plain gauge J-bend spokes coupled with robust brass nipples, all laced through stainless steel rim eyelets to enhance long-term durability and resistance to wear. At the core, the RL II series hubs provide dependable 6-bolt brake mountings and standard MTB thru-axle dimensions—100 x 15mm at the front and 142 x 12mm at the rear—ensuring seamless integration with most contemporary trail bike frames and forks. The rear hubs incorporate high-strength Cro-Mo axles and a 4-pawl Cro-Mo HG type freehub mechanism, delivering responsive engagement essential for precise control on varied terrain.

For added convenience and adaptability, optional quick release (QR) adapters are available, allowing conversion from thru-axle to QR configurations where compatible. Whether upgrading existing wheels or assembling a new build, the Ridge Line II wheels offer a cost-effective yet high-quality option, meeting the expectations of riders who prioritise reliability without compromising on performance.
