Lightweight Meilenstein ART Evo Disc Brake Road Carbon Wheelset
A New Era of Engineering
Four years in the making, the new Lightweight wheelset signals a new era in carbon wheel engineering.
Every part of the process has been rethought, rebuilt, and refined. At its core is a completely re-engineered rim architecture, reinforced with Alpha Rib Technology. This patented internal rib structure unlocks a wider, more aerodynamic profile while increasing stiffness and reducing weight. A combination once thought impossible, now achieved.
This is Lightweight's most advanced wheelset yet. With the perfect intersection of aerodynamics, construction, and control, it is built for riders who demand nothing less than peak performance.
ART - Alpha Rib Technology
The MEILENSTEIN ART rim is built on Alpha Rib Technology (ART), a breakthrough born from Lightweight's pioneering work in composite engineering.
Rather than a traditional hollow structure, ART integrates a network of structural ribs inside the rim cavity. This internal architecture dramatically increases lateral stiffness, reinforcing the profile against side loads, and ensuring razor-sharp handling and efficient power transfer.
ART also transforms the spoke interface. Carbon fibre spokes are directly bonded into the internal rib structure, eliminating unnecessary bends and preserving the natural load path of the fibers. This allows for greater tensile strength, reduced material fatigue, and a more direct, responsive connection between rider and road.
The result is a rim that is lighter, stiffer, and more structurally efficient. A defining step forward in composite wheel technology.
DRS — DRAG REDUCTION SHAPE
MEILENSTEIN ART is built for speed and stability. With a 23 mm internal width, it's optimized for wider tires and performs with confidence in every wind condition. The aerodynamic profile slices through headwinds and stays steady in crosswinds for a ride that feels fast, focused, and fully in control.
R2R Design — Rim-to-Rim Design
R2R, or Rim to Rim, is Lightweight’s proprietary spoke design used in the MEILENSTEIN ART wheelset. Each carbon spoke runs in one continuous line from rim to rim, passing through the hub without any bends, breaks, or mechanical connectors.
Penta-Fly Hub
The Penta-Fly Hub features oversized flanges that increase lateral and torsional stiffness to support power and control, even during hard acceleration or braking. A compact hub body reduces drag for improved aerodynamic efficiency. The exposed spoke interface reveals the engineering behind the design, with nothing hidden and nothing unnecessary.
Rct — Reusable Core Technology
To create the hollow rim and its integrated carbon rib structure, we use a removable core technology. A specially designed core is wrapped in carbon fibers and infused with resin, forming the exact internal geometry required for maximum stiffness and strength. Once cured, the core is carefully extracted, leaving a lightweight hollow structure reinforced by internal ribs. The core material is then recycled and reused in future production, reducing waste while maintaining technical precision.
This process makes it possible to build structurally complex rims with absolute consistency, combining performance engineering with a commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
LCC — Lightweight Custom Composite
Lightweight Custom Composite is a proprietary material technology developed for minimal weight and maximum performance. Every layer is precisely engineered to deliver the perfect balance of stiffness, responsiveness, and long-term durability. The result is a tailor-made, high-performance composite that enhances efficiency, sharpens ride feel, and meets the highest demands of cycling.
Handcrafted Precision — Made in Germany
Handcrafted Precision reflects the care and craftsmanship behind each Lightweight wheel. Key processes are performed by hand to ensure exceptional consistency and attention to detail. This hands-on approach upholds the highest standards of quality and delivers performance you can trust.
Made in Germany Innovation represents the foundation of Lightweight's engineering excellence. Developed and produced in Friedrichshafen, every wheel draws on decades of expertise, combining advanced technology with rigorous standards to meet the demands of serious cyclists around the world.
Smooth Carbon Finish
The new MEILENSTEIN ART features a sleek, refined surface unlike anything else in the Lightweight range. Departing from the traditional visible carbon weave, its smooth finish highlights the wheel's advanced construction and modern aesthetic, giving a clean and distinctive look that reflects the innovation behind it.
Versions
MEILENSTEIN ART is available in two versions. The Standard version features “Lightweight Silver” decals and steel bearings and the Schwarz ED version includes “Lightweight Black” decals and CeramicSpeed bearings.
