Lightweight Fernweg C 85 RB Shimano Wheelset

The Lightweight FERNWEG is an aerodynamic wheel, available in two different profile heights and perfectly suited for a triathlon or ironman. Through months of testing in the wind tunnel and cooperation with various aerodynamics specialists and professional triathletes, Lightweight was able to develop a new construction based on the Lightweight MEILENSTEIN. The result is the Lightweight FERNWEG, a top carbon wheelset in the combination of aerodynamics, crosswind resistance, stiffness, handling and weight. The low rolling resistance leads you more easily to your goal, increases your speed and makes you more effective. Crosswinds do not disturb the FERNWEG and let athletes get the maximum performance out of the aero position. Where riders with other wheel products have to leave the aero position, the FERNWEG rider still lies on his handlebars and rides away from the competition.

When it comes to aerodynamics, wheels play a decisive role, but only at high speeds from around 40 km/h. Rim height and aerodynamics are inseparably linked. The high rim dissipates the airflow better, thus ensuring less drag and you can put more speed on the road. Additionally every racing bike with high-profile wheels looks faster and more aggressive and becomes a real eye-catcher on the road. High profile wheels are the epitome of a fast and beautiful aero or time trial bike.

A disadvantage of these wheels, however, is that the height of the rim makes them more sensitive to strong crosswinds. Furthermore, the weight often increases because the wheel has a higher rim.

The high art is to find the perfect mix and balance between handling, weight, aerodynamics and wind sensitivity.

Every Lightweight wheelset is carefully handmade in Germany. This can lead to slight variations in surface structure and colour. This is a characteristic quality feature of this particularly high-quality production method. Lightweight stands for high-end quality. Made in Germany.
