Thinking about upgrade my M-team to full Carbon Rims - I've already put a 27.5" Roval Traverse ( made it a mullet with a wheel I already had). I believe the stock Race Face Turbine R-30 are fairly light but rugged. I might keep it as I ride chucky trails in Nor Cal mountains but any suggestions for a carbon front wheel that might save a few grams but still perform well - not too stiff?

I've always been a fan of the custom wheel route. I'm running Light Bicycle Recon Pro EN932 laced to Hope Pro 4 Hubs and have a similar setup with I9 Hydra's that I ran on my Pivot. There are no brand names that can match that type of value. It doesn't have to be LB either, similar companies like Nextie and Btlos are comparable.
