Unbeatable in the fight against time - The Lightweight Autobahn wheels for your triathlon bike
Aerodynamics, stiffness and weight are decisive factors in the battle against the clock. Lightweights full carbon disc, weighing only 800g and with a stiffness of approx. 90 N/mm, offers you all the advantages you need to become even faster in triathlon competitions or time trials: Top aerodynamics to avoid air turbulence, excellent climbing characteristics on the mostly hilly time trial courses and best acceleration values especially out of the curve. The carbon spoke construction not only looks stunning, but also offers excellent lateral stiffness that you can feel on the road. Our AUTOBAHN disc has become an indispensable part of the triathlon scene. It is undisputedly one of the best full carbon discs currently available on the market. To complete the wheel set you can use the eight spoke front wheel from the Lightweight AUTOBAHN series or combine it with a Lightweight FERNWEG high profile rim.
The ideal carbon wheel for the triathlon bike
An ideal carbon wheel for triathlon should be light, stable and aerodynamic. The less weight a triathlete has to move when cycling, the more energy-saving he or she can realize. Disc wheels are unbeatable in terms of aerodynamics. Numerous studies prove that disc wheels have the lowest air resistance when the wind blows from the front. There is no air turbulence whatsoever due to spokes and a maximum possible sailing effect when the wind blows from the side is made possible by the construction of the disc.
The full carbon wheels from Lightweight AUTOBAHN at a glance
• Reduced air resistance with lateral inflow up to the gliding effect (possibility of propulsion)
• very stiff wheel set
• good braking behaviour and longer wheel life due to local laminate reinforcement on the brake track
• light weight despite high rim or disc profile
Available in the following versions
The Lightweight AUTOBAHN wheelset is available as tubular model and is ideal for triathlon bikes. The wheelset has a rim width of 20 mm and is rim brake. The front wheel has eight spokes and the rear wheel is a disc.
• Tubular tire (Tubular), a clincher version is not available
• Rear wheel is a disc wheel - Lightweight AUTOBAHN Disc
• Rim brakes
• well combinable with the Lightweight FERNWEG e.g. disc wheel AUTOBAHN Disc and FERNWEG T85
Every Lightweight wheelset is carefully handmade in Germany. This can lead to slight variations in surface structure and colour. This is a characteristic quality feature of this particularly high-quality production method. Lightweight stands for high-end quality. Made in Germany.
