We cyclists can be very scrupulous about the weight of the bicycle and its components. Surely, it is one of the first characteristics we look at when we want to buy a new model or when we compare ours with that of a groupmate.
Beyond the frame and transmission, another of the elements that can most affect the weight of the bike are the wheels. A basic set is easily around 2000 grams, while good wheels can go down to almost half that.
In this same line, the new Air Ultralight models from Speedsix are an example of lightness, without losing rigidity or other features.
This range is designed solely for disc brakes, adapting to market trends, with more powerful and safer braking systems. On the other hand, it has versions for tube and tire, tubeless or tubular. With this, everyone can find their version, regardless of the type of “footwear” they prefer.
The profile varies between 30 and 55 millimeters, thus achieving versatile and rolling wheels, without compromising the weight or handling of the tire.
The lower profiles are designed for climbing cyclists, while the high profiles are ideal for galloping at high speeds in flat areas, as they considerably reduce the aerodynamic resistance of the cycling bike block.
The inner width of the rims in this range is 21 mm, and allows the mounting of tires between 25 and 30 mm wide. A very advantageous point to be able to use them in different terrain conditions and at different times of the year.
These carbon wheels are assembled by hand, like all Speedsix, to achieve a final product that is reviewed and cared for throughout the entire assembly process.
Soon, even more variety will be added to the profiles of this model. The weight varies depending on the height of the rim, but in all cases it achieves amazing lightness: between 1,100 g (profile 30) and 1,400 g (profile 55) for the complete set.
