It’s amazing how many frames claim to be the world’s lightest. Sometimes it’s the weight without paint, or in size 43, or without derailleur hanger, sometimes the claim is simply completely made up. At the same time, the one manufacturer that actually produces the lightest production frame according to independent magazine tests never makes that claim. Why don’t we? Because to us weight is not the primary goal; and because frankly we think the “lightest” claim has been so overdone that it’s got to stop.

To start with the first issue, we don’t focus on weight during the design process. We focus on stiffness, strength, comfort, and safety. Those are the frame characteristics that really matter, and we know that thanks to our superior engineering team, we can design the frames with the best combination of these features. And we know that if we do that correctly, we can achieve all these goals and still make an extremely light frame – even the lightest. But an up-front focus on the weight leads designers to water down the other – much more important – requirements.

So here it is, we have taken the R3 platform – a frame that already offered an incredible stiffness-to-weight ratio, and made it even lighter without sacrificing any of our standards regarding strength and stiffness. That makes the R3 SL the ultimate frame for next year’s Paris-Roubaix, as well as any epic rides you may have in mind. And it is naturally the perfect platform to build a superlight no-holds-barred bike around, undercutting the UCI weight limit even more easily than our other frames. Sizing Chart
