Is this the world's lightest bike?

(i'd guess not....)

Everti's new Eagle weighs just 11.4lb (Everti Titanium Bicycles)

Everti

Titanium Bicycles claim they have created the world's lightest

production road bike ? the Eagle, which weighs just 11.4lb (5.17kg).

The

company, based in British Columbia, Canada, say they have spent a year

refining the design and spec, and product testing to ensure everything

will stand up to real-world riding.

According to Everti: "The only limitations of this bike

are the legs that are going to be pushing the pedals."

However, they add: "Many

of the components on this bike are designed for riders under 200lb so we feel

it is best to suggest a rider weight limit of around 180lb to keep everything well

within the manufacturer's warranties."

The Eagle frame consists of a double butted 3/2.5 front triangle

mated to a straight gauge rear triangle. It comes with a 25-year warranty.

Component highlights

include SRAM Red shifters and derailleurs, Zipp cranks and bars, Extralite hubs

and stem, Edge Composites rims, Tufo S3 215 tyres, KCNC cassette and brakes,

Ritchey WCS seatpost and fork, and Selle Italia SLR saddle. RRP is $9,995 (approx ?6,865).

That's light but look at the price.

I do't like the chain and cassette.

Far from being the lightest...

Here is a 3.5kg roadbike

I think it should have emphasised the "production bike" part.

 

 

 

I would like to know how much those wheels weigh because Ritchey has got a new off the shelf set for about 1171g. But the hoops are made by Lew so it will not be cheap.
