ORION II Clincher
wheels
 
Orion II takes the best attributes of the
Ascent II and adds a few more spokes to give increased lateral stiffness
for the bigger, stronger rider. At only 58 grams more than the Ascent
II, the Orion II is a formidable competitor that combines light weight,
enhanced lateral stiffness and proven durability.
