Confused as to which Light Bicycle wheels to get? Are you left scratching your head because there are so many rim options? To simplify your choice, we’ve created a buyer’s guide featuring road, gravel, street trials, and mountain bike rims with reviews by some of your favorite Youtube personalities.
AR465 Disc × Hambini
AR465 Disc × Hambini
With reduced drag, superior handling, quicker acceleration, and greater impact resistance, the X-Flow design brings a bold new direction and elite performance to our gravel and road rims.
The X-Flow shape transforms the ride feel. In addition to the extraordinary cross-wind stability testified by Hambini, it offers ~31% less drag, a ~30% increase in impact resistance, and ~20% more lateral stiffness compared to a smooth-sidewall rim in the same width and depth. X-Flow rims were tested by a 3rd-party testing institute using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Learn more about the test data.
Feel free to customize the carbon rim weave, paint, holes, and decals. We also provide carbon-spoke wheelsets laced with rims of various widths and depths. Talk with us (sales@lightbicycle.com) to get your one-of-a-kind X-Flow wheelset.
We have the AR465 wheels in stock at the European shop. Get your X-Flow wheels in 1 week without customs duty concerns now!
As Hambini mentioned, we have upgraded the Speed Hubs with ceramic bearings, modified preload, and faster engagement. Also, the carbon spokes are aero-optimized. Learn more about what’s new in the latest version.
About Hambini’s video: As a response to a number of his Youtube viewers’ requests, he stayed as an independent third party to arrange for Light Bicycle to send an AR465 wheelset in stock for thoroughly rigid testing.
AR25 Disc × Twisted Wheels
AR25 Disc × Twisted Wheels
Elite gravel riders can have their cake and eat it too with this ultra-light carbon rim that is built to perform. A 250g rim? A sub-1kg wheelset? The AR25 is our lightest-ever gravel product and can hit both these marks. With a refined carbon layup and material upgrades, this rim is feather-light yet highly capable for race days and epic adventures alike.
Want to make the rim/wheelset more personalized? At Light Bicycle, we offer various hub/spoke options, custom rim paint, tubeless construction, and custom decals. Feel free to ask via email!

RM26C05 / EN732 / EH935S × Ali Clarkson
RM26C05 / EN732 / EH935S × Ali Clarkson
The RM26C05 is one of Ali Clarkson’s favorite street trials wheels - he’s been using this 26er model since 2018. The RM26C05 is wide, robust, and versatile. The Enduro version features an extra layer of carbon fiber around the nipple bed, reinforced sidewalls to support G-Out and impact forces, and increased rim stiffness. These features are ideal for aggressive riders and those over 200 pounds.
The RM26C05 wheelset featured in Ali’s videos is customized with single speed hubs. While we don’t offer this hub option online, feel free to email us (sales@lightbicycle.com) for a quote offline for the same build.
About Ali’s video: Ali became a Light Bicycle ambassador when he was impressed by the quality and innovative design of our rims and was willing to share the good experience with riders.
