Loaded's AmX Carbon wheels were first introduced last year, but the use of the X-Lite V3 hub is new. It features 6-pawl dual engagement and is lighter than the previous hubs.
The carbon rims use uni-directional (UD) carbon layers that have been knitted together to prevent the delamination that other carbon rims are prone to. They've also reinforced the nipple beds to prevent spokes from pulling through. This particular rim is only available in the 27.5-inch wheel size with 32 holes. It measures 24mm internally, 30.8mm externally, and weighs 410 grams per rim. Loaded's TBT tubeless system works to make mounting easy and burping a thing of the past.
Wheels are hand built at Loaded's warehouse in SoCal, and can be custom configured.
