The F+B 30 AM is designed for riders who demand the best of both worlds: lightweight performance and all-mountain durability. Like all FORGE+BOND wheels, the F+B AM 30 is made with FUSIONFIBER®, a carbon fiber material that uses long chain nylon polymers as the bonding agent instead of the brittle epoxies that are found in traditional carbon fiber products.
FUSIONFIBER® products are not only stronger and more durable than those made with traditional epoxy-based carbon fiber, but due to the microscopic flexing in the FUSIONFIBER® material, FORGE+BOND wheels are able to radially dissipate shock throughout the rim, resulting in a smoother rider with much higher impact resistance. For customers keen to support brands that take a stance on reducing one’s environmental impact and promoting responsibility, FORGE+BOND’s wheels can also truly be recycled due to the ability to reform and remold the nylon polymer bonding agent. If a wheelset breaks or a manufacturing defect occurs, the team at FORGE+BOND seeks to reclaim that wheel and feed it back into its Utah-based manufacturing facility. Once removing the hub and spokes, they then simply chop up the wheel into a short fiber material that can then be used to manufacture any number of products, which in their product line currently features tire levers.

“We’re committed to creating products that are both high-performance and sustainable,” said Kell Kirby, FORGE+BOND’s Chief Engineer. “The F+B AM 30 is designed for riders who want a lightweight, durable, and high-performing wheelset that can handle anything the trail throws their way.”
The F+B 30 AM features a 30mm rim depth that provides a balance of stiffness and compliance, making it ideal for a variety of terrain. The rim is also wide enough to accommodate tires up to 2.6 inches wide, giving riders the option to run lower tire pressures for better traction and control. A 4mm bead wall thickness provides ample protection against large impacts and pinch flats.
Riders can choose between four hub specs, including Industry Nine Hydra hubs in either 6-Bolt or Centerlock, DT Swiss 240 Boost Centerlock or Industry Nine 1/1 Boost 6-Bolt hubs. All wheels feature a hookless rim design and come set up for tubeless application.

The F+B 25 XC wheelsets feature a lightweight, yet stiff, FUSIONFIBER® rim that is paired with race level Industry Nine 1/1 and Industry Nine Hydra hubs. The result is a carbon, thermoplastic wheelset that is fast and responsive, able to absorb bumps and vibrations and generates a smooth and comfortable ride.

Being a Utah-based company that designs and manufactures in Gunnison, UT, there’s a strong focus on supporting resilient local communities and fostering the development of the next generation of riders. FORGE+BOND is pleased to announce that with every purchase of a F+B 25 XC wheelset, they will donate $100 to the NICA program of the customer’s choice. NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association) is a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for high school students to participate in competitive mountain biking.

“We’re stoked to announce the 25 XC in conjunction with our support of local NICA programs,” said Brett Stahl, FORGE+BOND VP of Brand and Marketing. “This wheelset is the perfect combination of speed and comfort, and we’re proud to launch a wheelset that will get you to the finish line faster and supports the growth of mountain biking in our communities.”
The 25 XC cross country wheelset will be available in three builds, all three wheelsets come with FORGE+BOND’s 30 Day Performance Guarantee and Lifetime Warranty, pricing and specs below. The 25 XC is available now at forgeandbond.com and select retailers, the 25 XC DT240 will launch this fall.
