Lightweight Meilenstein EVO: Elite Performance for Road and Gravel
Whether you are focusing on road racing or gravel riding, the Lightweight Meilenstein EVO wheels offer the elite level of performance and durability that will enhance even the most impressive bike setup.
For any Lightweight aficionado, these are the wheels we have all been waiting for. With the EVO series, Lightweight has designed a group of wheels that have all the best attributes that we love about Lightweight but with modern widths and capabilities that will mesh much better with the way more people are riding these days. With a sweet-spot profile of 48mm, the Meilenstein EVO wheelset have a 24mm outer rim with an 18mm inner rim measurement. That means that your wider tubeless tires will be nicely seamless making them more aero, and you can run them at lower pressures to enhance the comfort and reduce rolling resistance. Lightweight recommends you fit anywhere between 23 and 32mm tires on these rims.
Pentagon Hub Security in the Meilenstein EVO Wheelset
Since these are tubeless disc brake wheels that can accommodate wider road tires, Lightweight definitely wanted to make certain they would be robust enough for everything from epic road events to even more epic gravel grinds and cyclocross races. For one thing, both front and rear have 20 carbon spokes that are crazy stiff to ensure no loss of power transfer. But perhaps most importantly, the way the spoke interfaces with the rims and hubs is your biggest insurance policy. First weaving the spoke hole into the fabric of the rim and bonding the spoke inside ensures no need for truing down the line. Then Lightweight Meilensteins use what they call a Pentagon hub, which as the name implies, has five sides into which the correspondingly shaped internals fit. This locks everything neatly and securely into the hub shell, which will prevent any potential slippage even under the heaviest of braking. And if that doesn’t sound like much, it is huge, since when your internals get overheated and start moving around inside the hub is when you get catastrophic disc brake failure.
If you are planning on doing any serious climbing where serious descending will follow, having a pair of the Lightweight Meilenstein EVO disc brake wheels will give you that extra peace of mind that can make the difference. Weighing just 1380 grams for the pair and recommended for a rider/bike weight of up to 120kg or 265 pounds, these are race day wheels that are durable enough for daily use. And you’ll absolutely love them!
