The Super Logic Mountain Disc Clinchers are designed for cross country. Ritchey uses a 25 millimeter wide carbon hook rim, which is designed for wide standard and tubeless tires. The spoke mesh of the handmade wheels comes from DT Swiss and is bolted to the rim with aluminum nipples for the lowest possible weight. Ritchey also has the hubs with its own logo manufactured in Switzerland. They are built for Centerlock brake rotors; an adapter for six-hole rotors will be available separately. The wheels are available with two different hubs on the front wheel: there is a choice of a classic 9-millimeter quick-release version and a version for 15-millimeter thru axles. The wheelset should weigh a light 1328 grams as a pair. Such elegant wheels come at a price: weight-conscious bikers will have to fork out around three thousand francs for them.

The less expensive WCS Mountain Disc Wheels are equipped with a somewhat simpler carbon rim and are therefore slightly heavier. The disc-only wheels with Centerlock mount should weigh 1395 grams as a pair. The WCS OCR Mountain Wheels with lightweight TRX66 aluminum rims are the entry-level wheels in the new Ritchey wheel range. This should give the pair a weight of 1559 grams, but cost less than a third of the top model.

The wheels will be presented live for the first time at Eurobike. Shortly afterwards, Ritchey plans to start shipping the elegant round bikes.
