Description
There is no name in cycling wheels that produces more admiration and envy than Lightweight. As that rare breed of kit that even pros will pay good money for, these are wheels that certainly get hearts pumping. The Lightweight Fernweg C 63 will do more than get your heart pumping; they will get you flying down the road faster than you ever thought possible!
If you know a little German, you probably picked up that these wheels have been named to go the distance. The name also gives little hints of what you’re getting with these Fernwegs, with the C indicating they are the clincher versions and the 63 representing the fact they are 63mm deep. 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. No sir.
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. The Lightweight Fernweg C 63 offer the exceptional performance that can save you minutes in a long distance time trial or triathlon.
