Halo Gravitas Rim

While it was designed and tested on the Downhill World Cup circuit, its robust construction makes it a great choice for aggressive trail or enduro riders who prioritize durability over weight savings. If you frequently ride harsh, rocky terrain, this rim is built to handle that abuse.

The asymmetric profile helps balance spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides of the wheel. By equalizing these forces, you get a stronger, more stable wheel build that resists impact damage better than a traditional symmetrical rim.

The 27.5mm internal width is a sweet spot for most modern mountain bike tires, typically ranging from 2.3 to 2.5 inches. This width provides excellent sidewall support to prevent tire squirm in corners without making the tire profile too square.

Yes, the Gravitas is tubeless-ready. You will just need to apply your preferred tubeless rim tape and install a tubeless valve to get set up.

No, this rim is strictly designed for disc brake systems. The sidewalls are not machined for rim brake pads and will not provide safe or consistent stopping power.

It is constructed from 6000 series aluminum. This material choice offers a reliable balance of strength and stiffness, providing a predictable, planted feel on the trail that many riders prefer over the sometimes overly rigid feel of carbon fiber.
