This bike can be the lightest but it takes the heaviest pocket to buy it. This $45,000 racing bike designed by Fairwheel Bikes in Tuscon, Arizona weights 6 pounds. The professional racers use bikes of 15 pound, which is more than twice the weight of this new lightest bike!
Fairwheel’s bike, which was shown over the weekend at the Interbike Show, features front and rear brakes, a 10-speed rear gear, a two-gear chainset, and AX Lightness carbon fiber rims with titanium spokes. Maybe even the most avid cyclist would rather buy an entry-level luxury car and a regular bike.. Maybe we should think again: $45,000.
