Ruedas ligeras

Lightweight wheels have a rich heritage of innovation and precision engineering that has made them a top choice for professional and amateur cyclists alike. Founded by Rudolf Dierl and Heinz Obermayer, Lightweight initially made waves in the cycling world with their cutting-edge carbon wheel designs, particularly with the launch of the ULTEC disc in 1990, which became a sensation among top racers. Known for pioneering ultra-lightweight yet exceptionally rigid wheelsets, Lightweight wheels offer unmatched performance in aerodynamics, speed, and climbing prowess, making them a staple in competitive cycling.

Lightweight’s success in professional races elevated the brand’s reputation, especially following wins in the Tour de France and other major cycling events. This success pushed the founders to develop new technologies, including the iconic MEILENSTEIN series and the low-profile GIPFELSTURM, designed specifically for mountain stages. Lightweight’s wheels have continued to evolve, with innovations like tubeless-ready technology and advanced carbon layering seen in models like the MEILENSTEIN EVO and FERNWEG EVO, all crafted meticulously by hand.

Today, Lightweight wheels remain some of the most sought-after in the cycling world, known for their precision, quality, and dedication to speed and stability. Each wheel undergoes intense testing and strict quality controls to ensure optimal performance on every ride, offering cyclists a competitive edge and a reliable, high-performing wheelset.
