Lightest road bike?

Question

What is the lightest production road bike?

Answer 1

I don't really know and don't really care. There are more important things to consider than weight for a road bike... or any bike for that matter.

My guess- if I had to make one- is probably a Paketa with magnesium frame... somewhere in the 13-14 pound range with SRAM Red components.

Answer 2

Honda's recently introduced VT250 Spada lightweight motorcycle features a diecast aluminum box-section frame, which the manufacturer claims to be the world's first application of such design and construction. The company's own Italian subsidiary has been producing a smaller model, the NSR125, which also has a cast aluminum frame, however, it has open-sectioned members.

Answer 3

I've seen some crazy 12-13 pounders out there, however, I think there is some racing regulations that prevent people from using sub-15 pound bikes due to an unfair advantage against people without massive stockpiles of cash.

Answer 4

It doesn't really matter because the UCI wont let you compete with it anyway...

Answer 5

By bike I assume you mean bicycle? If so, Ghisallo is definitely the way to go.

Granted, they aren't cheap but it will be a long time before anyone designs a frame better than this - 1.99 lbs!!!
