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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTECHNICAL DETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\n• Wheelset Weight: 1.190 g (+\/- 3%)\u003cbr\u003e\n• FW: 550 g | RW: 640 g\u003cbr\u003e\n• Rim Depth: 45 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n• Internal Rim Width: 22,9 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n• External Rim Width: 28,6 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n• Rim Design: 700C | hooked | closed rim bed\u003cbr\u003e\n• Optimized Tire Size: 28 mm +\u003cbr\u003e\n• Tire Type: Tubeless Ready\u003cbr\u003e\n• Spokes: 20 Full-Carbon Front\/Rear\u003cbr\u003e\n• Hub: Penta-Fly | DT SWISS EXP 180\u003cbr\u003e\n• Freehub Systems: Shimano | Sram | Campa\u003cbr\u003e\n• Brake System: Disc Centerlock\u003cbr\u003e\n• Spacing: 12×100 | 12×142\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eADDITIONAL INFORMATION\u003cbr\u003e\n• Max.

This internal architecture dramatically increases lateral stiffness, reinforcing the profile against side loads, and ensuring razor-sharp handling and efficient power transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eART 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a rim that is lighter, stiffer, and more structurally efficient. A defining step forward in composite wheel technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDRS – DRAG REDUCTION SHAPE\u003cbr\u003e\nMEILENSTEIN 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eR2R DESIGN – RIM-TO-RIM DESIGN\u003cbr\u003e\nR2R, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePENTA-FLY HUB\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRCT – REUSABLE CORE TECHNOLOGY\u003cbr\u003e\nTo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis process makes it possible to build structurally complex rims with absolute consistency, combining performance engineering with a commitment to sustainable manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLCC – LIGHTWEIGHT CUSTOM COMPOSITE\u003cbr\u003e\nLightweight 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHANDCRAFTED PRECISION\u003cbr\u003e\nMADE IN GERMANY\u003cbr\u003e\nHandcrafted Precision reflects the care and craftsmanship behind each Lightweight wheel.
