Lightcarbon LCR020 35c clearance aero frame

The LightCarbon LCR020 is an upcoming aero road frameset, first shown as a 3D-printed prototype at the China Cycle show. It features a Toray T800+T1100+M40J carbon fiber construction, integrated cockpit, 35c tire clearance, and a claimed frame weight of 1100g (size 54, UD matte). Sizes range from 49-58cm. Users anticipate a budget-friendly price around $1000, similar to other LightCarbon offerings. The frame uses a T47 bottom bracket, flat mount disc brakes (160/160mm), and a UDH hanger. Production is expected to start in July 2026.
