Unanimous Praise from
the Jury
AeroRevo Road Handlebar
For ambitious road cyclists looking for a lightweight, fast cockpit, the Light
Bicycle AeroRevo Road Handlebars nail the balance between weight efficiency and
aerodynamics. These integrated carbon bars start at a weight of just 250g,
featuring
a NACA profile, one-piece construction, and a smooth internal finish that allows
for
painless internal cable routing.
The Light Bicycle Airia 32 Disc is aimed at road cyclists looking for a
lightweight,
modern carbon wheelset optimised for wide tires. These wheels deliver an
impressive
combination of low weight, sporty handling, and an attractive price point. They
boast a 32 mm depth, a 23.5 mm internal width, and hooked profile specifically
designed for wider tires over 30 mm. This setup improves comfort, stability, and
rolling efficiency.
The Light Bicycle WG55 Disc gravel wheelset is built for gravel racers and
off-road
enthusiasts who want to run wide tires without compromising on performance. At
the
heart of the design is a hybrid hooked rim with a 32 mm internal width,
compatible
with wide gravel and XC mountain tires. The WG55 rims are competitively
lightweight
and strong, with a maximum rider weight rating of 135 kg.
Since 2013, the Design & Innovation Award has been rigorously testing the most promising new
releases under real-world conditions with an experienced test crew – all to spot the
standout products and key trends of the upcoming season before anyone else. The DI.A is more
than just a badge of honor: it’s the only award that combines real-world product testing,
holistic evaluation, and critically grounded insights. As a trusted seal of approval and
benchmark for the most outstanding products in the outdoor, bike, and fitness industries,
the DI.A cuts through the noise of a market increasingly flooded with new launches and
supposed trends while acting as a catalyst for future innovation.
Who’s Behind the Award

engineers – some of the most respected experts in their field. Every year, the team invests
countless hours into the jury process of the DI.A. Every nominated product is thoroughly
