Tom Ritchey believes in high quality aluminum road wheels—they offer incredible performance and durability that’s hard to beat at any price.
He redesigned the critically acclaimed Zeta to be wider, lighter and laterally stiffer—perfect for a great road riding experience, yet still tough enough to endure gravel road rides and cyclocross races that would chew lesser wheels to pieces.
Combining decades of historic ride-proven research and testing with modern standards, the Zeta is now available in a tubeless-ready Comp-level version, offering the legendary Ritchey ride quality at a more attainable price. Each Ritchey wheelset is hand-built by a qualified Ritchey wheel technician.
