Shop Featherweight Setups
A great climbing bike should be light, responsive, and eager to accelerate. The products on this page were selected to help build bikes that are sharp on climbs, confident on descents, and fun to ride whenever the road starts heading uphill.
These bikes and components struggle to make their way up to the UCI’s minimum weight limit, but they’re undeniably excellent on steep gradients.
The frames selected below have the potential to be built into some climb-destroying weapons. All the frames themselves are light, but the Evolve features some very trick parts, such as the seatpost clamp and finishing, which brings it in at a very competitive 650 g (Size M, unpainted). The AR:ONE is light but known mostly for having an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio, and the BIGROCK is a hard-to-beat, performance-per-dollar option.

In simple terms, these are the lightest wheels we sell. Whether you’re looking for the ultralight 884 g ARCARIS Pro, which is purely climbing-focused, or a slightly deeper wheel for more rolling courses that is still very light, these three options will keep those superfluous grams off your setup.

Now it’s time to take things up a notch by bringing those grams down. When you’re hunting for those final weight savings, you have to look in the less obvious places. We suggest upgrading to a carbon saddle, carbon cranks, or even a pair of the ever-popular OVERFAST carbon thru-axles. These components are sure to help your setup hit that elusive target weight.
