Had a look but can't find anything on these wheels.

Anybody using them and if so what is your impression?

Weight looks good for the width and 120kg weight limit is way more than I weigh so should be able to take a beating but the numbers never really tell what it's like.

Would appreciate it.

Thanks

Very nice wheels from what I have heard from guys using them. Lyne's aftersales service is second to none - I have a few of their products and they have always gone out of their way to help me, so at least you know if something comes up you will have that backup.

 

I know some guys have done Klipberg and Ezel Enduros (VERY) rocky using their rims on hardtails. I think that alone says alot for the quality of the product.

Hey, I paired up some amp V1s with some maxxis 2.5s my hardtail Enduro bike. They have taken some serious hammering out on the McGregor rocks as well as Table Mountain’s rocky trails and are still running true and strong and feel as solid as the day I first got them!

thanks looking at the v1 it's basically the new pulse 30. Not that nuts on the trails so should be more than enough.

Been riding these wheels for 6 months and had no real issues with them. As mentioned, the after sales support at Lyne is superb so knowing you have that backing is a plus.

 

The down sides to the wheels for me mostly lie in the hubs (think they're similar to Stans 3.30). Found the bearings wear quickly and the freewheel (Shimano) is prone to gouging from the cassette (not limited to these wheels, but it applies). That all being said, I'm not particularly surprised at these factors at the price point so they're not really negatives. Just points to be aware of.

had the 27.5 amp30's for a while and now on the new 29" pulse 30 and very happy with them. pretty sure i bought the very first set and usually i look for as many reviews as possible before buying something but with these guys i knew i couldn't go wrong.i usually feel flex quite quickly and was a bit worried going to a bigger wheel with less spokes but absolutely no issues. haven't really checked if the hubs differ but it has super fast pick up. also i run a xd driver so cant comment on that issue mentioned above....

For the price and the strength they are a steal. I went with these over the Flows and haven't regretted it. As said the free hub does gouge but the is pretty much most any way. American Classic had a great solution to this but no one else ever really bothered to address it. Also the Rapide wheels that Kiwi build are well worth a look. Nothing but good feedback from them as well and equally good service.

Correct, just had a look. For me, they blur the line nicely between lighter weight and sturdy rim profile. And they perform really well for their weight.
