Ultralight Carbon XC Wheelsets for 29er Racing
XC carbon wheels from Light Travel Cycling are lightweight cross-country wheelsets built for climbing and acceleration, hand-built to order with your choice of hubs, spokes and rim width. Each wheel passes spoke tension, roundness and lateral runout checks before it ships, backed by a 5-year warranty.
Tell us your race distance and terrain and we will recommend rim depth and width, then lace the wheelset around the hub you choose — DT Swiss, Bitex or your own hubs where feasible.
