While the WCS Zeta GX wheels might be a new product for Ritchey, their development has arguably been in progress for nearly 50 years. Tom Ritchey, often alongside his mentor Jobst Brandt and other friends, has been blazing trails and tackling rough terrain since the early 1970s. Riding dirt is truly in Tom's blood.
Directly inspired by the reliability and top performance of the original Ritchey Zeta wheels, the new WCS Zeta GX wheelset is crafted to excel in gravel riding. These hand-built wheels are tubeless-ready and feature the new WCS hub with sealed bearings and center-lock rotor mounts. The rear hub incorporates a precise Ratchet Driver system with 360-degree, 36-point engagement. Designed with a wide 25mm inner diameter, these rims are perfect for wider gravel tires and are built with 28 sturdy spokes for added durability and reliability.
Tom Ritchey doesn't carry a mobile phone when he rides, nor does he rely on GPS coordinates on a cycling computer. A firm believer in self-reliance, one of Tom's guiding design principles is that every Ritchey product must be reliable enough to get you home. Built for durability and high performance in rugged and challenging conditions, whether in remote areas or close to home, the WCS Zeta GX wheels are designed to be strong, dependable, and ready for any gravel adventure—ensuring you’re always prepared to ride again tomorrow.
