LIGHTWEIGHT stem/handlebar unit HPC Cockpit carbon road bike -6° | 360 mm
The Friedrichshafen-based carbon specialists at Lightweight are opening a new chapter with the HPC Cockpit. The goal was clearly formulated: To develop a modern handlebar-stem unit that combines maximum aerodynamics and minimum weight, yet still has a high level of stiffness to transmit steering commands precisely. After 3 years of development work, the high-performance cockpit marks the pinnacle of what is currently feasible in aero cockpit design. By combining the latest materials and manufacturing technologies, the HPC achieves an exceptional balance of stiffness and durability and is aimed at riders who are looking for uncompromising perfection and aesthetics in their high-end bike. The HPC not only buys you valuable seconds and makes you the fastest version of yourself, but also allows you to build one of the lightest aero bikes ever. Whether you're chasing personal best times or simply looking for the ultimate riding experience, the HPC will take you to a new level of performance.
ART - Alpha Rib Technology
ART is one of the key innovations in Lightweight's carbon construction. The structure consists of 142 individually developed carbon layers that are specifically placed in functionally critical areas to optimize stiffness, stability and weight distribution. The result is an outstanding stiffness-to-weight ratio, precise, direct steering response and a cockpit that responds with the control and efficiency that demanding riders expect.
ASD - Aero Streamline Design
ASD combines clear aesthetics, state-of-the-art aerodynamics and a particularly low weight. Every single line of the cockpit is designed to reduce drag and increase speed. It is the perfect fusion of design, performance and efficiency at the highest level.
ASA - Adaptive Size Adjustment
ASA adjusts every cockpit size with the optimum reach and drop, creating a riding experience that feels natural from the very first second. The technology offers comfort, control and an ergonomic fit that perfectly supports the riding position.
LCC - Lightweight Custom Composite
The specially developed material technology is designed for minimum weight and maximum performance. Each individual layer is precisely engineered to achieve the ideal balance of stiffness, responsiveness and long-term durability. The result is a tailor-made high-performance composite material that increases efficiency, sharpens the ride feel and meets the highest demands in cycling.
Handcrafted precision made in Germany
Developed and manufactured in Friedrichshafen, each product is based on decades of experience, state-of-the-art technology and strict quality requirements. Created to meet the demands of ambitious cyclists worldwide.
NOTE: Lightweight offers a 5-year warranty from the date of invoice and a crash replacement with a discount for the first purchaser when the handlebars are registered. After 30000 kilometers or five years of use, the cockpit can be sent to Lightweight for an assessment.
