Ritchey has always made a solid XC wheelset, so developing a trail wheel in the all-mountain category came easy. All of the proprietary Ritchey wheel designs are present, like OCR rims, WCS Trail hubs and DT Swiss spokes. Smart design in both the rim and hub serves up a top-performing and complete wheelset that is reliable and easy to service. The contemporary width and height of the rim help the Trail 30 transcend from light trail status to to beyond, by selecting larger and higher volume tires.

The Trail 30 rim sits 24mm tall with an internal rim width of 25mm. Constructed from aerospace grade alloy, the rims have a professional burnished and anodized finish. The durable alloy rim material will have no problem running low pressures and occasionally kissing the rims on rough and pointy terrain. Tires mount and seal up with ease to the Trail 30 rim due to the smart channel design. The OCR (Off Center Rim) used in the rear wheel, features an asymmetrical design with a 5mm spoke offset and internal channel offset for balanced spoke tension. The long-proven OCR profile improves the spoke bracing angle and reduces wheel dish for a stronger build quality.

At the heart of the wheel is the WCS Trail Disc hubset. The pair of hubs have a star shaped flange to increase strength and reduce both lateral and brake flex. These unique flanges also make for easier building and wheel service. Oversize hubs are simple to disassemble and service, as well as convert to Shimano or XD Driver. Along with the oversize hub shells, Ritchey uses large and burly alloy axles for maximum stiffness and durability in a high-wear area. DT Swiss black anodized butted spokes connect this clever hubset to the Trail 30 rims.
