Lightweight Meilenstein ART Schwarz ED Wheelset
799121144
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 reengineered 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 fiber 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.
