Lightweight Obermayer EVO Wheelset

Lightweight Legacy - The Obermayer EVO Disc

There aren’t too many cycling brands in the world that can equal the reputation of Lightweight. For over 20 years, the German carbon experts have been making lust-worthy wheels that even pro teams pay for with their own money. One wheel that has so far been missing from the line-up is a disc version of the Obermayer Meilensteins. Well with the new Lightweight Obermayer EVO Disc that gap has well and truly been filled with their most impressive and lightweight carbon disc brake wheel they’ve made yet.

Now that disc brake road bikes are getting light enough to be considered climbing bikes, it’s only natural that perfectionists and weight weenies alike will be looking for the ultimate pair of wheels to use for those hardest days in the highest mountains. The Obermayer EVO Disc can hardly be topped when it comes to low weight or high performance. For one thing, in spite of the name, Lightweight wheels don’t just focus on being lightweight. They are designed to be the best all around wheels possible. The Obermayer EVO Disc certainly lives up to that goal. Even if they are super lightweight – hovering just above 1200 grams for the pair, which is insanely light for a pair of disc brake clincher/tubeless compatible wheels – the Obermayer EVOs really impress because of how incredibly stiff and responsive they are.

You may be thinking, well, that is the case with all Lightweight wheels. They all are incredibly stiff. What makes these Obermayers more so? It’s to do with the unique carbon structure that uses a totally different carbon layup and resin, which allows the Obermayer EVO Disc wheelset not only to be so light but so stiff as well. They really are an engineering wonder to be able to be well below 1300 grams even though they are disc brake wheels that are clincher/tubeless compatible and have a 24mm external rim width. That’s dropping around 100 grams compared to the Meilenstein Disc brake clinchers and competing with the super low weight of the tubular version.

Versatile Compatibility of the Obermayer EVO Disc Wheelset

The Lightweight Obermayer EVO Disc are available solely in a clincher/tubeless ready rim and are recommended for tire widths between 23mm and 32mm. They can support a combined rider/bike weight of 220 pounds and come with 20 spokes front and rear. These are a pair of wheels you buy as much with your heart as your head. You will certainly love riding them and get used to the envious comments your cycling buddies make!
