Lightweight Fernweg C85
Lightweight has spent months in the windtunnel with professional thriathletes until the perfect shape and profile height was developed. The result is a unique aerodynamic carbon spokes wheel with impressive performance values. With our new FERNWEG we now joined the champions league of aero wheels and don’t have to shy away from comparison with our competition regarding aerodynamics.
FERNWEG is a premium wheel combining top values in aerodynamics, lower cross wind vulnerability, sitffness, handling and weight. The new FERNWEG is available in the rim heights of 63mm and 85mm. The non disc version can be ordered for clincher as well as for tubular tyres. The disc version is only being offered for clincher tyres. The Standard variant will be available with a white and optional with a red decal. Of course we will further offer the „Schwarz Edition“ variant which is equipped with CeramicSpeed bearings and comes with a black decal.
With FERNWEG, Lightweight has finally arrived in the pro-sports segment. It was built up on the basic concept of our top wheel MEILENSTEIN and further developed into an aero wheel. Sounds promising, doesn’t it?
Higher, faster, further. The new FERNWEG with a 85 mm rim height leaves every competition behind. The combination of aerodynamics, lower cross wind vulnerability, stiffness, handling and weight make for a unprecedented smoothness.. Our new aerodynamic carbon wheel was built up on the basic concept of our top wheel MEILENSTEIN and excels with the same propulsion characteristics and increased stiffness. Nasty crosswinds do not irritate the new FERNWEG and athletes can deliver maximum performance while being in aero position. When riders on other wheels have to give up the aero position, FERNWEG riders will still be able to maintain it and pull away. Subsequently, FERNWEG is ready for professional use. It is suitable for IRON MAN competitions and we are looking forward to countless worldwide successes of athletes riding this LIGHTWEIGHT wheel.
