Sonder Bike Wheels
Hand built, machine tuned, high performance, durable, low maintenance, uncompromising quality. Every Sonder wheelset is hand-built right here in our UK workshop. That’s not just for the sake of it — it’s so we can obsess over the details. From spoke tension to rim profiles, we match every wheel to the ride feel and terrain you’ll actually face out there.
Sonder Bike Wheels
Built in Britain. Tuned for the trail.
We don’t just spec a hub and call it done. Our wheels are designed to complement the geometry, suspension and tyre clearance of our bikes — so they ride fast, stay true, and handle abuse without flinching.
-
UK-built quality – Fully hand-laced, tensioned and trued in our Nottinghamshire workshop

Trail-tested by real riders – From enduro stages to midwinter grit, we put them through it all
Whether you’re looking for a bombproof enduro set, a wide-rimmed 27.5+ build, or lightweight 29" XC wheels, you’ll find something that hits the sweet spot between performance, reliability and price. Built by people who ride — and built to last.
Made in Britain
Your wheels have a huge influence on the character of a bike. We look after the whole process to produce something truly special. By bringing wheel building to our factory in the UK we increase quality, offer far more custom options and improve production efficiency to reduce the impact on the planet by not shipping boxes of wheels around the world.
28-Day Ride Guarantee - love them or we'll give you your money back
If you don’t bond with your wheels, you can send them back for a no-quibble refund within 60 days. We’ll even cover the cost of returns postage for UK orders.
