LIGHT BICYCLE Rim 28" Falcon Pro WG44 Disc Flyweight 44 mm | UD-Carbon | 24-hole
Light Bicycle were ahead of the times with the Falcon Pro WG44 rim.While numerous manufacturers launched gravel wheels with an outer width of more than 30 millimetres in 2024, the Chinese have had their aerodynamic wide gravel rim with an outer width of 40 millimetres and a rim height of 44 millimetres in their range since the beginning of 2023. The advantages are obvious. Wide gravel tires are aerodynamically integrated into the rim profile, which makes the tire and rim system more streamlined and less susceptible to crosswinds. The large inner width of 30 millimetres also gives the tires more volume, which has a positive effect on the damping properties and offers more reserves against punctures. What's more, the tire remains stable on the rim even at extremely low air pressures at high lean angles. The hybrid hook profile of the rim flanges also ensures a secure tire fit.
Despite the extreme rim dimensions, the Flyweight version of the WG44 rims weighs just 385 grams thanks to a complex manufacturing process.
BlackTek
Thanks to this special manufacturing process, the Falcon Pro rims come out of the autoclave as a finished product and require no post-processing. This not only makes the manufacturing process more environmentally friendly than conventional methods, the rim surface is also significantly harder and therefore more resistant to mechanical stresses during driving.
Thinner Laminates Orientation-Optimized
Extra-thin and lightweight carbon prepregs are used in the production of Falcon Pro rims. This makes it possible to stack more carbon layers in critical areas to achieve greater stability and to keep the overall weight of the rims extremely low without any weight disadvantages.
