media coverage
"A bit of a Goldilocks wheelset – not too heavy, not too expensive, not too fussy – that competed against bigger brands on weight, price, or both. It’s hard to find too much to complain about."
"They can withstand blow after blow on tough trails, zip across open gravel roads at speed and provide tactile levels of grip on any terrain type. Based on their hardiness alone, I'd recommend the Parcours Altas to anyone looking for a bulletproof gravel wheelset that won't break the bank. 4/5"
"Parcours Alta is an excellent option for those looking for a boost in performance at an outstanding price"
Best budget gravel wheels
With design cues from our #thinkwider rim profile, the Alta will deliver on road and gravel, taking your riding further, faster and more exciting than ever before.
The hookless rim has a 24mm internal width, allowing the widest choice of tyre widths to suit whichever surface you want to ride; hard-packed Tuscan strade bianche, rocky American fire roads or good old British mud-baths, with the right rubber, the Alta can handle them all. Our confidence-inspiring new IMPACT+ technology introduces a more flexible resin at the rim edge, offering improved protection against impact.
A robust 28-spoke, 2-cross pattern on both front and rear wheels means the Alta will stand up to whatever you throw at it off-road, while the #thinkwider rim profile turns the Alta into a racing calibre wheelset, for those who desire speed on their adventures.
An optional dynamo front hub (SON Delux 12) encourages you to #ridefurther by keeping your lights charged on longer adventures, while high-grade EZO cartridge bearing hubs will aid the wheels in running smoothly. The hubs are fitted for 12mm thru-axles, however, adaptor kits are available for other standards.
