Twenty-four-karat gold leaf laid over superlight monocoque carbon fiber, Spengle Gold stands as the most extravagant wheelset on the planet.
You don’t have to be a bike nerd to get a kick out of these crazy-ass bike wheels. Swiss high-performance wheel-builder Spengle this month unveiled a product that quite literally sets the gold standard in wheelsets.
“The bicycle wheel represents a unique visual canvas — kinetic art in its most pure form,” Spengle CEO Pius Brauchart said.
“There’s something very compelling in mixing the traditional craftsmanship of hand-laid gold leaf with cutting-edge materials science, and it has resulted in a visually stunning wheel which will compete at the highest of performance levels and then some.”
