LT WAR25-50 Disc - 700C Carbon Wheelset

Following the AR25-45, Light Travel Cycling launches the brand-new AR25-50 carbon wheelset. This all-road wheelset achieves a fine balance of aerodynamic performance, crosswind stability and wide tire compatibility. For custom specifications and technical support, please email sales@lighttravelcycling.com.

Why Riders Choose This

· 50mm mid-deep profile paired with a 25mm internal width. Optimised for 28C–38C tires to form a smooth U-shaped aerodynamic contour, reducing drag on flat and rolling terrain.

· Two factory-calibrated rim weight options: 355±10g Ultralight and 385±10g Standard, tailored for competitive racing and endurance riding respectively.

· Comprehensive range of spoke hole configurations (18H/20H/21H/24H/28H/32H), together with three drill patterns (1:1 / 2:1 / G3) to mitigate uneven spoke tension, rim twist and power loss.

· Compatible with carbon spokes, steel spokes and premium hubs including DT Swiss, Chris King and Extralite. Supports Shimano 11/12-speed, SRAM XDR and Campagnolo freehub bodies.

· Rigorous quality control covering rim roundness, uniform spoke tension and impact resistance to guarantee lasting reliability.Every rim has passed our 105J impact test (UCI standard: 40J) to guarantee lasting reliability.

Who This Is For

· Road racers and sprint-focused riders seeking aerodynamic advantages on flat and rolling roads

· Endurance cyclists for long-distance all-road and gravel adventures

· Cyclocross riders running wide tires on disc-brake CX frames

· Custom wheel builders in need of versatile lacing solutions

When This Is Not the Right Choice

· Rides consisting mainly of steep mountain climbs where ultra-low weight is the top priority: opt for shallower 28–38mm rims

· Riders exclusively using tires narrower than 28C; the 25mm internal width is optimised for wider rubber

How It Rides

The 50mm mid-deep rim delivers obvious aerodynamic gains at cruising speed while maintaining solid resistance to crosswinds. The 25mm internal width allows 28C–50C tires to hold an ideal profile, boosting comfort, cornering grip and lowering rolling resistance. The ultralight carbon layup provides snappy climbing acceleration and explosive sprint response. The reinforced standard rim retains consistent rigidity under heavy loads and rough gravel surfaces. Multiple drill layouts minimise tension differentials, sustain stable stiffness and cut frequent truing maintenance.

Built for Real Riding

Tuned with feedback from amateur and competitive riders, the AR25-50 balances race performance and everyday durability. Ultralight version: Maximum rider weight 100kg, designed for competition. Reinforced Standard version: Supports riders up to 130kg, suitable for daily training and long-distance gravel trips. Every rim passes strict inspection for roundness, tension consistency and impact resistance to handle varied real-world riding scenarios.
