AR25 disc carbon gravel bike wheelset 700c asymmetric

Hi! The specs on these AR25 look very appealing - however, what are the limitations of the hybrid hook system compared to a traditional hooked rim? Do hookless compatible tyres have to be used? What is the maximum inflated pressure when using a 28mm tyre with a tubeless setup? Thanks, Max

LightBicycle 2023/11/02

Hi Max, Thanks for reaching out! The recommended max tire pressure for the hybrid hook is 70psi. The hybrid hook is better at keeping the tires on the rim. You can use a tubeless tire on the rim. 28c tires are well within the tire recommended usage range. The AR25 road disc has become the most popular rim since its release. They are used by varies riders. How much tire pressure will you ride? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi I'm very interested in the Falcon pro AR25 wheelset. Wondering what the total rider + carrying load/weight is for this wheelset? Thanks Avi

LightBicycle 2023/10/31

Hi Avi, May i know your weight and bikepack weight? Do you ride aggressively? Then we can check whether AR25 wheels 700C are okay for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Even though this is the lightest wheelset I've owned, I can attest to their toughness for gravel use. I purchased Falcon Pro rims built with DT Swiss 240 hubs, Sapim CX Rays spokes, traditional spoke pattern, with drain holes and they weighed in at 1030g. Very close to claim weight of 1022g. Over the last three months I've ridden these wheels on Colorado gravel roads, with washboard and loose rock, and even on some singletrack worthy of a mountain bike. I also raced these wheels in August at Gravel Worlds Long Voyage - 300 in Lincoln, NE for 23 straight hours with no mechanical issues. Although, I don't run high pressure in my gravel bike tires, I was attracted to these rims because of the hybrid hook. This relieves any stress about my tire unseating from the rim on a rough course. The wait time to receive wheels from Light Bicycle is longer than usual but, I appreciate the quality and will definitely buy from them again. Thanks

I was wondering if you could do the AR25 wheels with the carbon ti hub disk brake with the Berd spokes and would the wheel be heavier or lighter with no spoke holes?

LightBicycle 2023/08/14

Hi Harrison, Thanks for reaching out! Sorry, the Berd spokes can not be built with Straight pull Carbon Ti disc hubs and can not be set up with No Access Holes. We could offer other hubs as an option, I have sent you an email, please check it. Light Bicycle

Stephen 2023/04/24

Hello. These wheels look promising. I am looking for a carbon rim gravel wheelset build that will be more compliant on rough and chunky gravel descents. Is the carbon weave on this wheelset more for stiffness or compliance? Also, which spokes would you recommend for DT Swiss 240s and such gravel riding: long climbs and descents, and preferably durable? Thank you.

LightBicycle 2023/04/24

Hi Stephen, Thanks for reaching out! The road disc AR25 is more compliant for gravel riding if build with Sapim CX-Ray spokes. May I know your weight and tire pressure you run with? Tire size would be also helpful. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Marci 2022/12/01

Hi, I like your AR 25 wheelset and the weight is pretty impressive. I have a few questions about the rim: How durable is it despite its weight? I ride 30-70% paved-unpaved roads, and sometimes the unpaved road is rocky, single-track-like. Should I worry about the rim being damaged from a bump or a stone throw? Is the wheelset hand built? Is there a break-in process for the spokes? Do you check the spoke tension carefully? Thanks, Marci

LightBicycle 2022/12/01

Hi Marci, Thanks for reaching out! 1. AR25 700C disc was designed for gravel riding. So it would be a perfect fit for you. We are manage to reduce the weight by cutting unnecessary weight, upgrade materials and well-designed layup. The fact is that we have a XC version with the same design, but different layup to fit the XC trails' condition. We can make the rear rim stronger if you are worry. But it should add some weight because of the extra materials. 2. All of our rims are 100% handmade and wheels are 100% hand build. 3. The AR25 rims are one of our pro rims, so it come with a default 5-year warranty. As for the spokes, most of our road wheels are built with Sapim CX-Ray spokes. They are really reliable. It might break during crash accident. 3. We are actually very strict with our spoke tension. And we will pack with a wheel building specs in the box for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello, Do you have any future plans of possibly creating a road version of this wheelset, maybe with a hooked rim and 21-23mm internal? I can see this design as being very good on days with a lot of climbing even if the wheelset weight went up to 1100g.

LightBicycle 2022/09/26

Hi Aaron, We do have 21-23mm internal road rims 700C with hooked design available. The AR35, AR45, AR375, AR465, WR38, WR50, WR65. Currently, we don't have any plan to make a 25mm deep road rim. The hybrid hook design of AR25 was meant for gravel use tire pressure. Thanks, Lightbicycle
