TECH
At only 475g with an aerodynamic 45mm deep profile, the U45 is our jack-of-all-trades rim. Whether you are chasing KOMs on the mountain or racing your buddies to the next checkpoint, this wheel is for you.
With a 45mm depth, this wheel offers all the aerodynamic benefits of a much deeper profile in a lighter package that’s easier to control in crosswinds. If there’s climbing to do, these could be your best choice.

WHAT IS IN THE BOX

Florian: After a life on alloy wheels, I finally decided to upgrade to carbon. After a long time researching the topic I luckily ended up getting Light Bicycle wheels. The order process was super smooth with lots of customizing options. Support thereafter was amazing and the manufacturing and building process was 100% transparent. Even more importantly, the quality of the wheels is superb and it's pure joy riding them!
Thanks Light Bicycle family!!!

Mohsin: R45 wheelset. This is my second purchase from LB. I'm very happy with the wheels as well as the helpful service I received from everyone at LB.

Les: Excellent wheel set. Quick shipping. When I took them out of the box I was amazed at the quality of the build. Used the Bitex hub configuration and they spin forever. I can definitely notice an increase in speed over my stock wheels.

Sam: There's a common theme across all my bikes... They all roll on Lightbicycle Wheels, quite simply the best value performance wheels on the planet.

The wheels are mounted on a Xelius SL Pro FDJ 2017, 7.0 kg with pedals, bottle cages etc.
I exchanged my ultegra 37mm wheels for this incredible wheelset: my bike has been really transformed: not only it is lighter by 300g but the wheels are incredibly stiff and responsive, and I do feel the significant improvement in the flat of the 45 mm rims. I'd recommend Lightbicycle to anyone based on that experience and the quality of the rims!
