Riding on feathers with the most expensive bicycle wheel


Via LewRacing.com

Riding your bicycle with a wheel trimmed to suite your build is something any professional cyclist would cherish, for he would know what advantage it brings to him while riding. This however, does not mean that the Lew Racing Pro VT-1 tubular road wheel is meant only for pros, but yes, a price tag of upwards of $15,000 for a set can categorize you as one when you have it fixed.
The amazing thing is the weight of these wheels, which can get as light as low as 850g for a pair, based on how you furnish the details, which shouldn’t cite a wheel required for the higher terrains. The usage of boron in the rim surfaces gives the engineers over Lew Racing the ability to curb that weight to unbelievable limits, and it is the same fiber that places the wheel at a sky-high price, the highest in the world.
Weight Tubular Standard Set PRO VT-1 Both Front and Rear = 880 grams* (APPROVED RIDER WEIGHT < = 185lbs)
Weight Tubular Clydesdale PRO VT-1C Both Front and Rear = 1080 grams* (APPROVED RIDER WEIGHT < = 250lbs)
