Velocity A23 Rim, 650b 32h w/MSW Black

Velocity A23 OC 650B 32H Rim Black is a premium tubeless-ready bicycle rim engineered for riders seeking improved wheel strength, balanced spoke tension, aerodynamic efficiency, and exceptional ride quality. As the off-center (OC) version of Velocity's highly regarded A23 rim, this model is specifically designed to optimize spoke tension on dished wheels, resulting in stronger, more durable, and better-balanced wheel builds.

Featuring a wider internal profile, the A23 OC creates a more aerodynamic rim and tire interface when paired with modern road and gravel tires. The wider footprint helps produce a tire profile that closely mimics the ride characteristics of tubular tires, delivering enhanced cornering control, lower rolling resistance, and increased rider confidence without the maintenance challenges associated with tubular setups.

The tubeless-ready construction allows riders to benefit from lower tire pressures, improved traction, enhanced comfort, and increased puncture resistance. Its 650B diameter makes it an excellent choice for road, gravel, cyclocross, endurance, and adventure cycling applications.

Finished in a sleek black anodized coating and featuring a 32-hole drilling pattern, the Velocity A23 OC Rim provides an outstanding balance of performance, reliability, and versatility for custom wheel builds.
