2013 Top 10 Lightweight Small-Diameter Wheels

  Small-wheeled bicycles are more compact than road bikes, and simpler in structure than folding bikes. Perhaps this is why they attract so many loyal fans. For them, the lightweight design is a matter of great interest.

  TOP1

   Price Range: 8800

   Weight: 7.9KG

   Frame: Carbon Fiber

   Speeds: 20-speed

   Wheelset: DECAF 451

   Comments: With a carbon fiber frame achieving a weight below 8KG, it undoubtedly takes the lead. The lightweight SRAM components also contribute to the lightweight design. Of course, if you wish, there is still considerable room for weight reduction.
