Published:
Read Time: 1 min
Upgrading your wheelset can be phenomenally expensive, easily setting you back £1,500 -2,000. But at just £299.99 the new Sonder Alpha wheelset is unbelievable quality for the price. You could easily look at the price and understate them. Don't be fooled as these wheels are high performance!
How is this possible? The Sonder Alphas are made from aluminium rather than the more expensive carbon. Sonder's design team’s expertise along with the factories they work also means that they can accelerate trickle-down technology to this brilliant price point.
Features:
- Built for gravel adventures and road plus speed
- 6-pawl hubs (3°) for faster pedal engagement and stroke efficiency
- Premium quality alloy rims for strength and stiffness without the weight
- Sealed cartridge bearings for a longer lifespan and low maintenance
- Pre-taped welded rims for true tubeless compatibility
- Pillar double-butted alloy spokes to save weight
- Smooth matt finish
High performance, durable, low maintenance, uncompromising quality
Hand-built, these wheels are built to take mountains of abuse in their stride. Alpha are tubeless-ready performance wheelsets with wider internal widths for decreased rolling resistance. The 6 Pawl, alloy freehub provides 120 engagement points for immediate pedalling response and stainless steel spokes provide year-round durability.
The Sonder Alpha range includes 27.5, 29, 29XC, 600b, 700c priced £299.99.

Editors notes
Sonder Bikes launched in 2016 and has grown into a 13-bike range covering road, gravel and mountain bikes. Every single Sonder bike is designed and built by the Sonder team in the UK. They design the frame, build the prototypes and test on the trails. They’ve now launched their own, hand-built Nova and Alpha wheelsets.
