Making the WORLDS LIGHTEST Tarmac SL8 EVEN LIGHTER!!

The reviewer presents the Arcaris wheels as a key component for making an already lightweight Tarmac SL8 even lighter. They are described as a climbing wheelset with 'crazy' specs for disc brake wheels, highlighting their extremely low weight, specific dimensions, and unique hub design. The reviewer installs them on the bike, resulting in a final weight of 5.36 kg (11 lb 13 oz). They note the wheels have a 100 kg weight limit, which accommodates the reviewer. The wheels are mentioned as being featured on a website (panipodium.cc) and a link will be provided.
