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 Thrust-4 Carbon - The Thrust-4 Carbon spokes are designed to boost high tensile strength. The 4mm all-road profile ensures great crosswind stability.
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.

Crystal Painting Glossy USD +20

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.

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.

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.

At Light Bicycle, our story begins with carbon mountain bike rims—and it never ends. Our first carbon MTB rim was born in 2011. Over the years, our MTB wheels have won the unanimous favor of riders. With the innovation and changes in the mountain bike wheels market, we are excited to introduce the all-new Helios Mountain Rim Series.

As part of the new lineup, Helios AM930 is the result of a combination of engineering and testing, perfect for Trail/All Mountain use with a nice balance of ride quality, durability and outright speed. We improve the stiffness, strength and longevity of the wheel by using an asymmetric (ASYM) rim design that improves spoke tension balance. On the trail, this translates to precise handling you can rely on. The rim also features a wide rim bead for added strength, reduced risk of pinch flats, and lower tire pressures for enhanced traction and control. Plus, their 30mm inner width allows running 2.3 – 2.6 inch tires for awesome handling and trail feel.

Various hub combinations are available, such as DT Swiss, Extralite. If you have a specific color or request of hub, contact us to check on their availability. Freehubs available are: Shimano MTB 10/11S, Shimano Micro Spline, and the SRAM XD etc.

The tire pressure for this rim is recommended at 30 psi. The rider's weight limit is 265lbs. The positive stiffness test on the rim has reached 125J.

Ferry 2026/02/26

Hi Is the WMHelios-AM930 wheelset rated for ASTM-4 classification? I'm myself a lightweight rider 65kg and want a wheelset for my trail/allmountain bike. I ride in very rough rocky, terrain with jumps / drops up to approx. 120 cm height.. is this wheelset suitable

LightBicycle 2026/02/27

Hi Ferry, The Helios-AM930 mtb bike rims complies to ASTM-4 classification, it reaches 120J impact resistance. I'd suggest you go with standard version rather than flyweight version. Could you please let me know configuration details you'd like to build the Helios-AM930 then I'll quote to you according and give suggestions if needed. Thanks, Lightbicycle

How does the Helios-AM930 compare to the AM930S for use on a hardtail? This would be for my Litespeed Pinhoti 3. I'm trying to balance light weight and vertical compliance.

LightBicycle 2026/01/16

Hi Johnny, May I know your weight please? What is your riding style normally? Do you ride aggressively？Then we can check which one is better for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle
