Velo Orange Orbital Rim

VO's new rim is here, following on from their classic box rims with a new disc-only v-profiled all-rounder.

The Orbital Rim is a modern, wide-profile, tubeless compatible powerhouse designed for the rigours of loaded touring, gravel riding, backcountry exploration, and everything in between.

With a generous internal width, the Orbital is specifically engineered to support high-volume tires from 45mm up to 2.5". This width provides a superior tire profile, allowing you to run lower pressures for maximum grip and comfort without the "squirm" associated with narrow rims. Whether you’re building up an adventure rig, a chunky-tire gravel machine, or rowdy commuter, the Orbital offers the perfect balance of lightweight agility and reliability.

Please note, depending on your hub choice we may not have spokes to build a 32" wheel. At the moment in Canada, those are hard to find outside specialist unicycling operations. It's a new wheel size people are trying out, and things are up in the air about it.
