A new era of engineering

After nearly four years of focused development, Lightweight introduces a new era in carbon wheel engineering.
Every part of the process has been rethought, rebuilt, and refined. At the heart of the new 
wheel is a completely re-engineered rim architecture, using Alpha Rib Technology, 

our patented internal rib structure. This breakthrough unlocks a wider, more aerodynamic 
profile while increasing stiffness and reducing weight. A combination once out of reach, 
now made a reality.

The result is Lightweight’s most advanced wheelset to date, a perfect intersection of aerodynamics, construction, and control.

For riders who expect the highest 
level of performance

The all new MEILENSTEIN ART
A New Benchmark in Performance Engineering

The MEILENSTEIN ART wheelset represents a new standard of innovation, precision, and performance in modern 
cycling. Developed over nearly four years, it reflects a complete re-engineering, from materials and manufacturing 
to aerodynamics and structural design.

At its core is Alpha Rib Technology (ART), a system of internal ribs that boosts lateral stiffness while maintaining 
a lightweight, hollow rim. Paired with direct spoke bonding and a patented system of internal ribs, it delivers 
unmatched power transfer, responsiveness, and control.

Aerodynamics were refined using CFD simulations, DoE, and wind tunnel testing. The rim profile reduces drag, 
while remaining stable in crosswinds. Guided by the Aero-Mass Index, the design strikes a rare balance of speed, 
stiffness, and weight, providing measurable gains across all riding scenarios.

Each wheel uses over 500 meters of carbon fiber and 70 precision-cut plies. A hybrid of automated and ?
manual processes ensures material is placed only where needed, improving consistency and reducing waste.

Tested beyond industry standards, including climate, corrosion, and ride simulations, MEILENSTEIN ART has earned 
praise from both professionals and amateurs for its agility, comfort, and control.

Every detail is engineered for speed, confidence, and reliability. MEILENSTEIN ART is more than a wheelset, ?
it’s a new benchmark for performance.

Proven by Professionals Real-World Testing Beyond extensive lab trials, this wheel was ridden by dedicated amateur ? and professional cyclists in real-world conditions. The feedback was unanimous. Even seasoned riders with deep experience and high expectations described ? a ride unlike anything they had known. On high-speed descents, sharp corners and in unpredictable winds, the wheel delivered exceptional control, quick responsiveness, and power transfer that left a lasting impression.
