Your choice of tubeless tyres is still a bit restricted, but you have far more options in tubeless-compatible wheels and the range is growing all the time. We found almost 100 different models listed by manufacturers, though they’re not all available in the UK yet. Let’s take a look.
Bontrager
Trek’s wheel and component brand was early to get on board with tubeless mountain bike tyres, so it’s no surprise there’s a wide range of Bontrager tubeless-ready wheels, from the entry level Affinity Comp right up to the all-carbon Aeolus range of racing wheels.

Campagnolo & Fulcrum
Campagnolo and subsidiary wheel brand Fulcrum call their tubeless system 2-Way Fit as it works with both standard tyres and tubeless tyres. Campagnolo says this allows a rider to “test which of the two solutions suits them best or use the clincher for training and the tubeless tire for the day of the race”.
There are five models in the two marques’ ranges from the Campagnolo Zondas to the Fulcrum Racing Zeros.

Cosine
Wiggle’s house brand offers a single model of tubeless-compatible wheels, the snappily-named 32mm Alloys. We’ve not tested them yet, but on paper they look like excellent value at £250 for a pair of 1485g wheels.
Model | Weight | Price |
32mm Alloy Road | 1,485g | £250.00 |
DT Swiss
All DT Swiss’ wheels appear to be tubeless-ready, a sensible move by the wheelmaker to broaden the appeal of its hoops. The range covers every imaginable road and cyclo-cross application and a huge price band from the budget R24 Splines at under £200 up to the RC 28 Spline db, which nevertheless look like good value for disc-brake carbon wheels at £1,200 per pair.

Easton
With a starting point at almost £700, Easton's tubeless offerings are very much pitched at the high end and racing, and include three models with carbon fibre rims for speed demons.

Edco
Swiss wheelmaker Edco has a large range of tubeless wheels, not all of which seem to be available in the UK, but which includes the startlingly light Supersport Neggias at a claimed weight of 1,179g.

Hunt
New British wheel contender Hunt specialises in tubeless — in fact, it doesn't make anything else. The range comprises twelve models at the time of writing , six for disc brakes and six for rim brakes. We've been very impressed by the performance and value of the wheels we've reviewed so far.

Kinesis
To go with its well-regarded road and cyclo-cross frames, Kinesis has a range of four tubeless-ready wheels, two for cyclo-cross use and two for road, with disc- and regular-braked versions of the latter.

Mavic
Mavic was surprisingly late to the road tubeless party given its wide range of mountain bike tubeless wheels. Its two tubeless models are designated 'All Road' to indicate that they're intended for gravel and adventure bikes, though that should make them eminently suitable for British country lane craterscapes.

Novatec
We've liked the Novatec tubeless wheels we've reviewed. As well as tubeless compatibility they have lots of thoughtful features such as compatibility with both Shimano and Campagnolo cassettes and a steel strip in the aluminium freehub body that stops sprocket splines from digging into it.

Pro Lite
Pro Lite has a big range of tubeless wheels, with at least seven models, but we've only been able to find a UK source for one of the, the light but sensibly priced Bortola A21W.

Shimano
Despite partnering with tyre maker Hutchinson to develop tubeless tyres for the road in the early 2000s, Shimano hasn't gone all in, and just offers four models. They're good value, though with the Ultegra model wheels a particular bargain at the time of writing.

Stan's No Tubes
Tubeless pioneer and sealant maker Stan's NoTubes was quick to get on board when tubeless tech crossed over from mountain bikes to the road. Stan's claims the Bead Socket Technology used in its rims gives a more secure seal between tire and rim and a proper tire profile for lower pressures, faster cornering and less rolling resistance.

Zipp
Famous for aero wheels, Zipp only recently made the leap into tubeless wheels with two models of aluminium-rimmed wheels one for disc brakes, and one for rim brakes. It's bang up to date with a 25mm rim (external width) and there's an optional SRAM XD freehub body so you can fit a 10-42 cassette if you want to use a single-ring gear system.
For 2017 Zipp has announced a tubeless, disc-compatible version of the 303 carbon clincher wheels, though they don't yet seem to be shipping.
