Psst… wanna see the World’s Lightest Bike? To enthusiasts who appreciate weight conservation over classic construction, the invitation is akin to a saucy seduction.
To those who prefer traditional tubing as reassuringly reliable, the fact that numerous pilots have accrued between 12,000 and 15,000 miles on this featherweight carbon fiber is a testament to the resilient nature of this material.
The original father of the World’s Lightest Bike is Günter Mai, who’s a bit of a visionary when it comes to the concern of weight and bicycles. Using a Spin frame and THM forks, he got the weight down to 2.8 kg before dismantling the bike. The current owner and Arizona’s Fairwheel Bikes have rebuilt it, and it now weighs an incredible 2.7kg.
