Updated: the AM930S is now available in both 28H and 32H. The Flyweight style weighs only 350g.
The first rim produced with our new S-Flow profile is designed to meet the needs of the modern “down-country” rider.
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.”
