Locomotos are designed and built to bring the precision handling, well-tuned ride quality, and handbuilt quality of our carbon wheels to All-Mountain, Enduro, and Gravity riders who choose to ride aluminum wheels.

Engineered to track well in rough, high-speed, terrain and during hard cornering, the Loco's rim shape and depth combined with their hooked bead makes them laterally and torsionally stiff while also offering a forgiving amount of vertical compliance. 

Ride quality is tuned & improved through the use of our lifetime guaranteed SPM™ straight-pull hubs, 28 Sapim Race double-butted spokes, and tightly controlled spoke tensions.

The 30mm internal width of the Locomoto is ideal for tires ranging from 2.25" to 2.6". Tires 2.5" and wider will have a softer or more forgiving ride quality on the Locomoto while sacrificing a slight degree of tire sidewall stiffness under hard cornering.

Performance by design

The Difference is in the Details

At RF, we're obsessed with the belief that the "whole" should be greater than the sum of its parts.  It's why we build our wheels in-house, by hand.  It's also what leads us to design and manufacture almost all of the components that we use to build our complete wheels.  From hubs & rims, to tubeless tape & valves, we design each and every part to work together flawlessly as well as to excel individually.

I can't believe how much I've enjoyed these Livewire wheels...I'm glad I was introduced to this small, SoCal company because these cross-country wheels have been a revelation to me!  MTBR.com Gear of the Year

We have to give it to RideFast for building such top quality equipment.  If trusty and durable carbon wheels are on your wish list, check out the Hotlines.  MBA Field Test
