Ratchet This is a required option.

DT Swiss hubs use star ratchets and are available in 4 different models with varying points of engagement.

18T - Deepest teeth, slowest engagement, least amount of maintenance, suitable for powerful riders.

36T - Happy medium, doubles the engagement points.

54T - Super fast engagement, but shallow teeth require more careful re-greasing and the thru-axle should be checked every ride.

24T - Made out of hardened steel as e-bike specific.

EXP 36 - With only a single spring, making the hubs faster and lighter. More precise contact makes a longer lifespan.

EXP 54 - Upgraded from EXP 36 to gain incredibly faster engagement.

Sapim D-Light – The best all-around and most popular spoke for carbon wheels. Lightweight but incredibly strong.
Sapim Race – Our strongest and stiffest spoke. These spokes are suitable for heavy or extremely aggressive riders who need a stiffer wheel.
Sapim CX-Ray – The lightest spoke in our lineup is still quite strong due to the elasticity and amazing fatigue life.
DT Competition Race - All Mountain and XC spoke used by the Chinese location as a substitue for the D-Light (depending on availability)
Pillar PSR X-TRA 1420 - An inexpensive bladed spoke, great for road and cyclocross riding.
Pillar Wing 20 - Pillar patented highest level of aerodynamic bladed spoke reducing potential weak spots and twisting during tensioning. Currently, they are offered in oil slick color only with increased wear and corrosion resistance.
Sapim CX Sprint-Rear drive side/ CX Ray-Other sides - This customized combo increases the rear drive side power transmition efficiency significantly while grabs superior light-weight and aero performance.
Oil slick J-bend - They are made by a qualified manufacturer in Taiwan with custom design by Light Bicycle. They are J-bend only so do not order these spokes for SP hubs you configured in the previous step.
LB Flyweight Carbon Regular Edition >> -It maximizes wheel stiffness while keeping things more aero, designed to unlimit your hub choice making your wheels more customizable than ever.
LB Flyweight Carbon Special Edition >> - It maximizes wheel stiffness while keeping things light, designed to pair seamlessly with our Speed Hubs through the use of specially designed aluminium nipples.
Berd PolyLight >> - It is constructed from an advanced polymer called ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and are widely considered to be the lightest bicycle spoke option in the world.

Finish This is a required option.

Paintless: The "Finish" relates to how the rim is coated or painted such as matte or glossy for the most common applications. Our Recon Pro and Falcon Pro rims feature BlackTek and come out of molds as a completed product, with a scratch resistant and near flawless finish, eliminating the need for coating or painting. We name this kind of superior finish the paintless.

Crystal Painting: A fantastic painting effect designed by Light Bicycle.

Full Custom: This option offers custom finish such as Satin/Raw etc at no extra charge but subject to rim models with 3~5 days LONGER on manufacture. And custom color painting is also available with added 15g/rim and extra $20USD/rim as a start. If you select this option and LEAVE YOUR REQUIREMENT IN QUOTES IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed to finalize the details.

Paintless

Glossy Crystal Painting (silver) USD +20

Full Custom

Weave This is a required option.

The layup schedule is predetermined for each model, but you can choose the outer layer for cosmetic appearence.

The rim strength & weight is virtually identical.

Matte UD is the most popular and has a subtle look.

The futuristic Hexa-Comb and Braided UD are smooth and looks great on deep rims.
More info about Weave >>

Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) offers custom weaves such as 3k twill vertical/ horizontal/ Braided UD etc with extra charge of $15USD/rim as a start but subject to rim models with 3~5 days LONGER on manufacture. If you select this option and LEAVE YOUR TAILORED REQUIREMENT IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed.

Bead type This is a required option.

Hybrid Hook

Drain Hole This is a required option.

The two small drain holes located 90° to the valve hole effectively help evacuate both the water trapped inside the rim and the air leaking into the rim chamber caused by nonperfect tubeless tape sealing handwork that may risk rim explosure in an aggressive tire inflating.

It is the small reinforced layer prelaminated on the area where the drain hole is drilled later that makes the rim strength fairly ensured without any compromise of weight added.

Riders who ride in wet areas are suggested to order rims with drain holes.
More info about holes >>

With Drain Holes

No Drain Holes

Center Channel Hole This is a required option.

With Access Holes: This is the traditional method. Spoke access holes are drilled in the center channel to allow the nipples to easily be fed through the rim. Tubeless tape is required to seal the rim.

No Access Holes: No spoke access holes are drilled in the center channel. Feeding the nipples through the rim is more challenging, but it allows for a tubeless setup without the need for tape. This kind of system is known as "road tubeless" and was made popular by Mavic. Some companies still refer to it as "UST style", however, UST is actually a specific interface between the tire and rim which was developed by a partnership between Mavic, Michelin, and Hutchinson.

Currently, rims with 'No Access Holes' do not work with our carbon spokes.

With Access Holes

No Access Holes

Rim Warranty This is a required option.

For Recon Pro Series ( MTB rim), Falcon Pro (road rim) and Drift Pro (fatbike rim), 5-year warranty is set as standard, and optional Lifetime Premium Warranty are kindly offered to purchase with minimum charge respectively.

5 Years

Lifetime USD +100/rim

Decal This is a required option.

1. Grey Laser Engraving (Falcon Pro) - Our laser engraving technology is eco-friendly and adds a snappy, polished aesthetic to your new rims.
Please note: Contrary to rims with any coated/painted finishes (matte, glossy and satin) as well as Crystal Painting, laser engraving could work with paintless rims only.

2. Full Custom - Add some additional personalization and go full custom with your rim graphics! Laser engraving is available in one colour (light grey) and starts at $5 USD per rim. If you select this option, LEAVE YOUR REQUEST IN QUOTES IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT. For example: "I need my personalized logo printed" or "Just text 'ABC racing' ". We will reach out to you once the order is placed to finalize the details of custom graphics.

Grey Laser Engraving (Falcon Pro)

Blank (No decal)

Full Custom (Laser only) USD +5

Valve Stem This is a required option.

We use a lightweight black alloy anodized valves with an oversized concave collar for easy gripping. A rubber o-ring goes in between the rim and the collar to help seal the rim and match the contour of the rim profile. The valve core is removable so you can add sealant without removing your tire.

None

Add Valve Stem USD +7 each

Tubeless Tape This is a required option.

Add Tubeless Tape: A roll of 10-yard-long tape is provided separately as parts to do the favor for those who treasure the dirt in the hand and are passionate in DIY stuff.
Information of tubeless rim tape

Apply Tubeless Tape: In Light Bicycle, a proprietary taping aid works with our wheel builders to guarantee that a solid taping craft at industrial-level is well implemented in order for you to ride carefree tubeless at any conditions.

You do NOT have to use any tubeless tape to run tubeless if you have chosen "No Access Holes" on the rim center channel.

None

Add Tubeless Tape USD +6 each

Apply Tubeless Tape USD +6 each

Rear Wheel Dishing Pattern This is a required option.

While the vast majority of frames require Centered (Traditional) dishing, those of Cannondale’s with Ai offset design (Asymmetric Integration) comply with a special kind of offset dishing for the rear wheel.

Know more about Cannondale’s Ai technology >>

Centered (Traditional)

Overview

As the lightest 700c gravel wheels we've developed, the AR25 disc is designed to transform your ride feel with the super lightweight (sub-1100g) and the proper compliance to absorb the shocks from the gnarly ground. Nimbleness and stability, you can eat your cake and have it.

The innovative hybrid hooks allow you to run at a higher pressure, compared to hookless shape, without risking blowouts. Ride more, ride safely. The rims are designed tubeless-ready: compatible with both tubed and tubeless setups.

These wheels are incredible. They are super light at just over 1000 grams. The dirt roads in the mountains around LA are steep. These wheels make climbing feel easier and the stiffness allows me to descend with confidence and really bomb down. These are some of the best wheels I’ve ever ridden, and definitely the best gravel wheels I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend it!

Max 2023/11/01

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

Billy 2023/09/28

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

LightBicycle 2023/10/03

Hi Billy, Thank you for your message. We appreciate you a lot for the feedback. We are working on the production time for the AR25. Quality and humanized service are the goals we pursue. Good suggestions from our customers are our motivation for continuous improvement. Look forward to seeing you again! Light Bicycle

Harrison 2023/08/14

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

Aaron 2022/09/25

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

LightBicycle 2022/09/19
