Lightweight Fernweg EVO 63 Schwarz Edition - The Discreet Champion
When looking for the perfect set of wheels for your dream racing bike, the Lightweight Fernweg EVO 63 Schwarz Edition for disc brakes will quickly sprint to the top of the list. It’s the perfect set of wheels for someone who likes to be as discreet as possible while still racing with pro level equipment.
As the Schwarz Edition, these are the sleek-looking Black on Black version, instead of having white or red lettering for the branding. The Schwarz Edition is special in another, even more important way. They come with upgraded Ceramic Speed ceramic bearings to enhance the already breathtakingly low rolling resistance Lightweights offer. As the EVO edition of the Fernweg 63, that means that this is just about as efficient a wheel design that any aspiring road or triathlon racer could want. It’s a new modern approach to the rim design where the Lightweight EVOs have moved away from the sharp v-shape of the rim and more towards the rounded u-shape direction, in addition to making the rim width wider. With a 25mm external and 18.2mm internal rim width, they will work much more seamlessly with wider tubeless tires that most of us like to run. Though as with non-EVO Lightweights, they recommend using tires between 23 and 32mm wide.
As disc brake specific, the Fernweg EVO 63 Schwarz Edition have the advantage of not needing to incorporate a brake track, while the carbon layup and integrated spoke design with 20 spokes front and back ensure the durability of the wheels and ability to withstand the increased braking forces. It also means that the weight limit for these wheels increases to 120kg or 265 pounds. With the 63mm deep rim profile and the impressively light 1695g for the set, these are wheels that can tackle everything from a hilly road race to a windy Kona-like tri parcours. Even if we are used to Lightweights being epically stiff and as a result super fast at accelerating, how well balanced and stable these wheels are will feel like a revelation.
Fernweg EVO 63 Schwarz Edition - The Everyday Race-Ready Wheelset
Since tubeless tires can be run at lower pressures improving both comfort and rolling resistance, the Fernweg EVO 63 Schwarz Edition will prove to be excellent endurance oriented wheels for anyone keen to get the best performance out of their multi-day excursions. The carbon layup of the wheels themselves have also had the advantage of including just a touch more spring in their step than perhaps you are used to in Lightweights. It really makes the Lightweight Fernweg EVO 63 Schwarz Edition maybe the most everyday race ready high performance disc brake wheelset available on the market today.
