Downhill carbon wheels from Light Travel Cycling are reinforced gravity wheelsets built for bike-park and race use, hand-laced to your hub and spoke spec. Each wheel is checked for spoke tension, roundness and lateral runout before shipping and covered by a 5-year warranty.

Gravity riding demands stiffness and impact resistance first; our DH builds prioritize both, laced by hand around the hub you choose.

Common Questions

Are carbon wheels used for downhill?

Yes — our DH line uses reinforced carbon rims built for gravity riding. Each wheel is hand-built to your hub and spoke spec and inspected for spoke tension, roundness and lateral runout before shipping.

What hub options work for downhill builds?

We offer DT Swiss and Bitex hubs with various engagement systems. Downhill builds prioritize stiffness and durability; contact us with your bike's axle standard and we will confirm compatible options.

How are downhill wheels tested?

In addition to our standard pre-ship inspection (spoke tension, roundness, lateral runout), our testing protocol is described as 10x beyond industry-standard loads. All wheelsets carry a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
