The Viks Carbon is a bicycle that celebrates the second anniversary of the Viks commuter bicycles, designed by Estonian designer Indrek Narusk.
Like its predecessor, the Viks Carbon features the same frame design as its predecessor, with a pair of tubular frames joined at the head tube, seat tube and bottom bracket. While the main tubes consist of carbon-fiber, the joints and other components are made of stainless steel. Due to the liberal use of carbon fiber, this bike's frame weighs 3 kg less than the steel bike, while the bike's total weight is no more than 10 kg.
With an Aerospoke wheelset and Gates Carbon belt drive completing the features, it's clear that the Viks Carbon is a fabulously light and great-looking urban commuter bike.
