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
Bontrager Affinity Elite Road Disc wheelset
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
Fulcrum Racing 3 wheelset - rim and valve
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.

DT Swiss
DT Swiss R24 Spline wheelset - rim bed 2
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.

Hunt
Hunt Race Season Aero Wide wheelset
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.

Mavic
Mavic Ksyrium Elite Disc All Road.jpeg
Mavic was surprisingly late to the road tubeless party given its wide range of mountain bike tubeless wheels, but as of June 2017 has gone all in with a 14-model line-up of wheels that use a road-specific version of the UST technology Mavic pioneered for mountain bikes back in the 1990s.
Mavic says its UST wheels work best with its own UST tyres because the manufacturing tolerances of tyres and rims are very tightly controlled, but other manufacturer's road tubeless tyres will work.

Novatec
Novatec 30 Alu Clincher wheelset - Main
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.

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
Stans NoTubes Alpha 340 Wheelset
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
Zipp 30 Course Disc-brake Clincher wheels tight.jpg
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.
