Lightweight bicycles have what type of brakes?
Depends on how far you want to take it, and what kind of bike it is. The most common type of light weight bike is probably a road bike, and they are generally equipped with caliper rim brakes, with single-pivot being the lightest design available. But there are also light weight MTBs, and they generally run disc brakes. A MTB for flat terrain can still have straight-pull brakes(v-brakes), which is a kind of rim brake too. They can still be lighter than disc brakes although braking isn't quite as good.
