Worlds 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. Since then the bike was dismantled but the current owner and Portland’s Het Fairwheel Podium have rebuilt the bike to weigh in at an incredible 2.7kg
