MTB carbon wheelset AM30 All-Mountain

330g Ultra-Light Weight & 130J Impact Resistance Redefine Trail Standards

Light Travel Cycling is proud to introduce the all-new AM30 all-mountain carbon wheelset, engineered to strike the ideal balance between ultra-lightweight construction and heavy-duty strength. Built for the full range of trail and all-mountain riding, the AM30 uses advanced carbon layup technology and scientifically optimized rim geometry. It gives advanced riders a well-rounded wheel solution that excels in pedaling efficiency, off-road stability and long-term durability — solving the common industry trade-off: lightweight wheels sacrifice toughness, while reinforced wheels deliver a sluggish ride feel.

Dual Weight Configurations for Versatile Terrain Adaptability

The AM30 series comes with two optimized versions to suit diverse riding styles. The ultra-light Flyweight rim weighs just 330g, setting a new benchmark among comparable all-mountain rims and significantly reducing rider fatigue during climbs and long-distance cruising. The Standard version weighs 360g, boosting structural toughness while maintaining a lightweight profile for well-balanced everyday performance. Drawing on the brand’s decade-long carbon-manufacturing expertise, its refined layup delivers outstanding rigidity without added weight for an agile, stable and reliably strong ride feel.

30mm Internal Width Optimized for Modern Wide-Tire Setup

With a modern 30 mm internal rim width, the AM30 works seamlessly with mainstream 2.3-2.7-inch mountain-bike tires. The widened rim bed fully supports optimal tire shaping, maximizes the contact patch, and enables low-pressure riding at 30 PSI. This greatly improves traction and ride comfort across gravel, root-strewn and loose terrain, while boosting cornering support. Its professionally tuned rim geometry balances vertical compliance for vibration damping and lateral stiffness for precise handling. It avoids the tire-deformation issues of narrow rims and excess drag from overly-wide profiles, making it perfectly suited for all-mountain riding.

ASYM Asymmetric Rim Design for Elevated Handling Limits

To address common wheel shortcomings such as uneven spoke tension, poor lateral stiffness and permanent deformation, the AM30 uses an advanced ASYM asymmetric rim profile. It redistributes mechanical forces across the rim and balances spoke tension between the disc-brake side and drive side, greatly boosting lateral rigidity, torsional strength and overall wheel stability. During aggressive riding — steep-slope leans, sharp cornering and rocky-section descents — the wheels deliver precise steering feedback, snappy responsiveness and clear trail feel. This design effectively resists lateral wobble and deformation for improved long-term service life.

130J High-Impact Resistance for Harsh Trail Conditions

Rigorously lab-validated, the AM30 achieves a 130 J frontal-impact-resistance rating, outperforming many competing models in its category. It reliably absorbs heavy trail impacts from rock gardens and root-filled sections, delivering ample safety margin for aggressive off-road riding. Whether tackling technical trails or hard-charging all-mountain /enduro riding, the wheels hold solid structural integrity under extreme terrain loads.

Tubeless-Ready Design for Enhanced Riding Safety

The AM30 uses an optimized wide bead-hook rim profile with native tubeless compatibility, enabling hassle-free tubeless setup with no extra modifications. Its thickened, reinforced rim bead boosts load-bearing capacity and greatly reduces snake-bite /pinch flats during low-pressure riding. Lower operating pressure improves tire conformity to the terrain and enhances damping performance, for an excellent balance of traction, comfort and puncture resistance on long-distance off-road rides.

Weight-Rated Engineering for Broad Rider Compatibility

Engineered and validated via extensive real-world trail testing, the AM30 features differentiated weight-limit ratings to suit a wide range of riders. The Flyweight variant is rated for riders up to 110 kg, whereas the Standard variant handles up to 130 kg. These scientifically calibrated ratings guarantee structural safety during jumps and aggressive trail riding, with no unnecessary added weight. They strike a perfect balance between lightweight efficiency and reliability for training, enduro and recreational riding.

Fully Customizable Build for Personalized Setup

The AM30 supports fully customizable wheel builds. It is compatible with premium hub brands such as DT Swiss, Chris King, H-works and Extralite. Freehub body options cover mainstream standards: Shimano 10/11-speed, Micro Spline, SRAM XD and Campagnolo. Additionally, riders may customize spoke material, rim surface finishes, custom colorways and decal layouts to create unique wheelsets tailored to their bike aesthetics and riding preferences.

5-Year Manufacturer Warranty Backed by 10-Year Expertise

All performance data is validated via real-world trail simulation and extreme destructive testing to guarantee genuine, trustworthy specifications. Every AM30 rim includes a 5-year manufacturer structural-failure warranty, plus an optional crash-replacement program to ease post-purchase worries. Backed by ten years of professional wheel-building expertise, premium build quality and comprehensive after-sales support ensure long-term riding reliability for every rider.
