First Look: AM930S S-Flow MTB

Are you one of those riders who will break out a full spandex kit once in a while? Do you relish the moment when you destroy the enduro bro’s on a long descent on your sub 30 pound bike? Are you keen on a 3-hour ride? If any of that sounds familiar, you’ll probably find that this rim is made for you!

The generous 30mm internal width feels great with modern 2.2-2.4” tires, while allowing you to fit 2.8” plus tires in the off season. We kept the overall height of this rim shallow to allow for all day comfort. Weighing an impressive 400 grams(now available as light as 350g), you’ll get noticeable acceleration gains compared to comparable alloy rims, all while providing a more accurate and reliable tubeless profile.

Ride more - with less fatigue!

S-Flow Design Properties

The overall depth alternates between 18.1mm to 21mm, creating a ribbed inner circumference. The unique combination of a stepped sidewall and shapely rim bed gives the carbon rim extra vertical compliance.

A finely-tuned Toray T700 layup features layers of carbon nanotubes in key areas to further the vibration damping properties. Carbon nanotubes increase impact resistance by 10% without adding weight. The final result? An all-around player making light work of tough trails.

Wide Rim Beads: Tires Protected

The AM930S (30 inner width/37 outer) features ultra-wide 3.5mm hookless (straight side) rim beads. The thickened rim bead, along with the smooth edge, offers great protection for your tires when hitting an obstacle - the impact energy gets dispersed faster on the broad surface. This greatly reduces the risk of pinch flats (snakebites). The wide profile provides a stable platform with less force required to mount tires.

Reviews

“When adjectives like ‘hard’ and ‘fast’ come to the fore, this wheelset shines brightly. Like a gravity tire casing, the Light Bicycle AM930S rims come to life when you’re pushing the pace on proper gravity trails. On a flow track or any machine-built dirt, riders may not notice any meaningful performance gain with these wheels. They are made for a different party. Over larger stones and protruding roots, the rims show their compliant prowess as the speed increases.”

Hello I just picked up your rims and am going to build them up myself but am wondering do you guys require nipple washers or no?

LightBicycle 2022/11/25

Hi Thomas, All of our wheels mountain bike or road wheels are built without the nipple washers. But you can use them if you don't mind the weight. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Gostaria de saber qual é o modelo desta roda. Consigo enviar uma foto dela para verificação?

LightBicycle 2022/07/02

Hi Denis, We appreciate your contact! You mean you have a light bicycle carbon bike rim in your hand that doesn't know the model number? Suppose that is the case, please send the photo of the serial number on the rim bed so that I can check. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Do you plan on making a 28 hole version in the near future?

LightBicycle 2021/12/11

Hi Danny, We wouldn't have the 28h version of AM930S 29er bike rim before the next March. So I would suggest ordering a 32H instead if you want to have the wheels build faster. I will email you when we release the 28H. Thanks, Lightbicycle

How do I purchase a single rear wheel? I purchased a set of 29 inch wheels for my mullet bike and now I'm considering buying a 27.5 rear wheel. I could not find a way to price one up. Thanks Mark

LightBicycle 2021/11/10

Hi Mark, You can order the single rear 27.5er wheel via email. Can you tell me the rims, hubs, and spokes you like to build with? I will send over the quote and order to you later on. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Will these be available as complete wheels or rims in the european warehouse?

LightBicycle 2021/11/10

Hi Anders, Yes, you can order AM930S as a complete 29er wheelset. What configurations do you want to build with? I am sorry that we don't have a plan to stock AM930S in the European warehouse at the moment. Thanks, Lightbicycle
