Halo Skelta MT MantraDrive 750 Boost Rear Wheelset 27.5" MTB Compatible

The Halo Skelta MT 27.5" MantraDrive 750 Boost MT-SS rear wheelset is a precision-engineered component designed for mountain bikers who prioritise strength, reliability, and performance on demanding trails. Manufactured from high-grade 6069 T6 heat-treated aluminium with seamless welded joints, this wheelset minimises structural weaknesses, delivering exceptional durability and long-lasting service. Its shot-peened rim surface not only enhances corrosion resistance and fatigue strength but also maintains a refined matt finish, ensuring the wheelset performs as well visually as it does mechanically.

Featuring a 30mm internal rim width combined with a hooked profile, the Skelta wheelset provides superior tyre retention and control, whether used with tubeless systems or traditional tubes. It is optimised for 2.5” tyres but remains compatible with a range of sizes from 2.2” to 2.8”, allowing riders to adapt to various terrain and riding styles. Available in multiple sizes including 29", 27.5", 26", and 24", it supports diverse bike configurations such as mullet setups, catering to a broad spectrum of mountain biking needs.

At the heart of the rear wheel lies Halo’s acclaimed MT Boost MantraDrive 750 hub, featuring 150 points of engagement for rapid response and efficient power transfer. The wheelset utilises triple-butted J-bend spokes, combining strength and precision engineering to withstand rigorous trail conditions. Tested extensively across challenging environments from the Scottish Highlands to Utah’s rugged landscapes, the Skelta wheelset is engineered to meet the highest standards of mountain biking performance.
