Halo Skelta MT Mantradrive 750 MT-SS 27.5-Inch Rear Wheel

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 Skelta MT-SS is the MantraDrive 750 Boost MTSS 12 x 148mm rear hub. Aimed at the emerging "Slopeduro" market and single-speed conversions. Features a 72mm flange-to-centre width for unmatched wheel strength and perfectly balanced tension. Compatible with Pinion gearboxes for ultimate versatility.

This wheel uses a Mini Shimano HG freehub, idea for use with Halo's Fat foot sprockets.

Technology

Skelta Rim

The Skelta rim has been developed by riders, Halo created the rim to offer as much durability and performance as possible, with a 30mm internal optimised for tyre support and confidence inspiring riding.

Using a invisible welded joint and shot peened 6069 T6 heat-treated Aluminium, it is made to last without compromising on weight or style. Halo added stainless eyelets for extra strength.

Featuring a shot-peened surface which provides increased corrosion and fatigue resistance, as well as a uniform matt finish.

MantraDrive 750 Hub

150 Points of Engagement: Utilising a leaf spring mechanism Mantra ‘750’ drive uses 5 pawls on a 150 point engagement drive-ring (5 x 150 = 750), the system delivers near-instant engagement with 2.4 degrees of rotation.

Durability Under High Torque: Built to withstand the stresses of high-torque applications using CNC machined Cr-mo axle and freehub.

Enhanced Load Distribution: By incorporating 7 engagement teeth per pawl instead of the conventional single tooth, the system spreads load more evenly, increasing longevity and reducing maintenance.

Cr-Mo Freehubs: All freehubs are made from chromoly (Cr-Mo) for superior durability, reduced cassette bite on HG-splined cassettes, and compatibility with single-speed setups. Internally weight-relieved, they achieve both strength and lightweight.

6902 Bearings: The integrated Cro-Mo freehub and driver allow more useable space for the bearings. This enables substantial 6902 sealed bearings to be used in the freehub for improved durability and easier servicing worldwide.

Hand Built

All Halo's wheels are hand built with care and attention using Triple butted J-Bend spokes and brass ED coated black nipples.
