Designed for and tested at trail centres, bike parks, street riding and at Hardline by some of the best riders in the business. The all new Skelta wheelset is one of the most durable in Mountain Biking and is built using 6069 T6 heat-treated aluminium with an invisible seamless welded joint for added security. The Skelta rim features a shot-peened surface which provides increased corrosion and fatigue resistance, as well as a uniform matt finish.
After more than a year of heavy testing Halo has developed the rim design to offer an even stronger wheel without excessive weight. Skelta's enhanced 30mm internal width, offers a confidence inspiring hooked rim profile for added control and tyre security and is compatible with all types of tyres, tubeless or not. Halo have optimised the width for tyre sizes from 2.25" - 2.8", making them compatible with lightweight XC tyres for ripping local trails, through to heavy casing DH tyres for the gnarliest conditions.
At the centre of the rear Skelta wheel is Halo's iconic MT SupaDrive hub. All the Skelta wheels are built with Halo's triple butted J-bend spokes so you can easily source replacements wherever you're riding in the world.
Halo's Skelta Wheels or rims have been put through their paces, not only throughout the Scottish Highlands and the trails at Hardline in Wales but further afield performing on some of Utah's finest dirt. A challenge they were more than up to and a testament to not only their strength, but also their resilience to some of the hardest riding conditions in the world.
Whatever type of riding you do, the Skelta is ready for your next adventure.
