Description
If you are the type of person who likes to have the best of everything but don’t need to scream it from the rooftops, then the Lightweight Fernweg C 63 Schwarz Edition will be the deep dish wheelset for you.
These are wheels made in Germany, so it’s not surprising they brand them using the local lingo. Fernweg refers to the long distance use you’ll likely have in mind for these, and Schwarz Edition means 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 amp up the already breathtakingly low rolling resistance Lightweights offer. Picking your way through the rest of the name, you’ll no doubt figure out that the C indicating they are the clincher versions and the 63 represents the fact they are 63mm deep. So these are wheels that will slot perfectly into a triathlon race day set up or indeed a hilly road race.
Lightweight by name and lightweight by nature, these deep dish carbon wheels weigh just 1560g for the pair, and more to the point, offer an insane level of stiffness. You’ve no doubt come to expect that from Lightweight, but it is even more impressive how responsive they are when accelerating considering just how high profile the shape is. No need to have three or four pedal strokes to wind them up. As rim brake clinchers, the Fernweg C 63 have been given a slightly updated inner rim width so that they can accommodate tire sizes between 23 and 32mm.
Staying stable in heavy crosswinds has also been instrumental in the rim design, meaning the developers in Germany have worked closely with specialists in aerodynamics in order to incorporate aspects from aerospace engineering and motorsport to find that perfect balance: lightweight, stiffness, responsiveness, and stability. They have also focused on working the rim brake track into being extremely effective rain or shine when using proper Lightweight carbon-specific brake pads. There are 16 spokes for the front wheel and 20 spokes in the rear. Lightweight places a maximum weight for rider and bike at 100 kilos or 220 pounds.
If you are interested in having the best of the best in carbon wheel technology, then the Lightweight Fernweg C 63 Schwarz Edition will get you that level of insane aero, low rolling resistance performance that is essential when looking to win races.
