L J FLOOD Wabi Lightning

 At just about 18 lbs, the Lightning is a bike that changes the steel fixed gear/single speed game. It's the perfect combination of characteristics—light and fast but with that great ride of super light steel. 

The current colors are Pearl Black, a dark pearlescent black, and Sunlit Silver, a brilliant silver. We also have limited stock on Nitro Orange, a bright pearlized orange, and Crystal Grey, a dark pearlized grey. 

LIGHTWEIGHT PERFORMANCE

For those looking for one of the lightest one gear rides out there, the Lightning delivers. It features a triple-butted Columbus Spirit frame, a sleek carbon fork and our lightweight wheelset for a weight of about 18.5 pounds (55cm). 

The Lightning features our Wabi hybrid track-road frame geometry - designed to be nimble for quick dashes through the city or comfortable for long rides on the backroads.

ROCK SOLID COMPONENTS

Our builds feature rock-solid components that bring together the quality, performance and minimalist aesthetic that you expect from Wabi.

Components are curated to ensure light weight, low maintenance and clean lines while not sacrificing performance - or breaking the bank. We source direct from well-regarded brands like Andel, Tektro and Tange - all in our no-logo approach.
