Bike at Bedtime: 6.1kg!?! Check out the superlight SchmolkeCarbon Aerrow road bike. It'll delight the weight weenies! cycling

This new Schmolke Aerrow Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 Disc is the first road bike from the German lightweight carbon company, and it hits the scales at a claimed 6.3kg – well below the UCI’s 6.8kg minimum weight limit for racing – with even lighter builds possible.

If you don’t know much about Schmolke, it’s a boutique carbon brand that has been around since 1992, supplying the likes of Jan Ullrich and Erik Zabel over the years. It makes handlebars, stems, seatposts, saddles and wheels – all of it from carbon and always with a focus on keeping weight low. It’s specialist stuff and is priced accordingly. Schmolke’s carbon stem will set you back between €498.99 and €645.00, for example .

We were impressed by the Schmolke Roadbar Oversize Evo TLO handlebar when we reviewed it. We had the 44cm version and it weighed an astonishingly light 147g while offering a decent level of stiffness.Now Schmolke is launching its Aerrow road bike that features aero frame tubing, an aero seatpost and dropped seatstays. Routing for the disc brakes is fully internal – as is the case on the vast majority of top-level road bikes these days.

The geometry is pretty aggressive. The medium-sized model comes with 73°/74° frame angles, a 540mm effective top tube , a 515mm seat tube , and a 143mm head tube. The stack on this size is 544mm and the reach is 384mm, giving a stack/reach of 1.41.
