TECH
The Flyweight is a new series of wheels from Light Bicycle. Targeted specifically towards racers who seek every possible edge on the race course. Our goal was to produce the lightest possible wheels without sacrificing performance.
Drawing on our engineers’ years of experience and countless revisions in each step of the manufacturing process, we are able to produce a strong and stiff XC wheel while dramatically reducing the weight.
Construction: We used a special uni-directional pre-preg with a very low fiber areal weight. This is an exclusive process to our Flyweight rims. To further reduce the weight we used a blend of Toray T700 and T800 specific layups. We opted for a new subtle ultralight waterslide graphic in glossy black with a matte finish overtop in the spirit of keeping these as true cross country race oriented rims.
WARRANTY
For Non-Pro Series Rims: From the date of purchase, 3-year Standard Warranty.
For Pro Series Rims: From the date of purchase, 5-year Pro Warranty as standard and an upgraded optional lifetime Premium Warranty with minimum charge.
Crash Replacement: It is applicable with the same period as the warranty time range that you purchased for the rims with 10% /25% discount for Non-Pro series /Pro series.

Aki : During the years I have bought several superlight mtb 29" carbon rims from Light Bicycle. Please find attached the photos presenting my sub 1 kg racing wheels (Extralite Hyperboost, Berd spokes, Light Bicycle Flyweight rims) and one rear wheel built from DT240 hub, DT Revolution spokes, and Light Bicycle rim. Those photos are taken from my Instagram account called "kireapinnainen". In addition to those three wheels, I also have currently one front wheel that has been built from Tune Princess hub, Sapim CX-Ray spokes, and Light Bicycle rim.

Keven : RM29C06 Review
These are my second XC wheels built with DT Swiss 240 hubs. Love the colour match with the bike and completed the Swiss Epic and Cape Epic races on these wheels.
Other Light Bicycle rims
Just to say that I still have my first set of Light Bicycle rims on my light blue Santa Cruz highball, and they’re still just as good as on day one! I’ve also got a great set of deep-section road wheels built with Light Bicycle rims – they look awesome and ride great.
