Sitting at a feathery 1,230 grams, it’s safe to say that our MEILENSTEIN EVO wheelset is worth its weight in gold—a statement that rings even truer with the roll-out of our latest limited-edition offering. Introducing the MEILENSTEIN EVO Signature Gold Edition.

A responsive, resilient, and nimble road wheelset, the MEILENSTEIN EVO is hand-crafted entirely from carbon fiber for extreme precision and power—qualities that have earned it best-in-test distinctions from both Tour and ROADBIKE magazines over the past year, so we decided to celebrate.

Going for Gold

Combining one-of-a-kind form with unrivalled functionality, our limited MEILENSTEIN EVO Signature Gold Edition wheelset comes complete with smooth-rolling Ceramic Speed bearings and special graphics by our friends at Rei:sel Design, rendered entirely in 23-karat gold leaf. With a nod to the upcoming Summer Games in Paris, we may be gilding the lily, but as any aspiring Olympian would agree, some things just look better in gold! Just ask Ecuadorian rider Richard Carapaz, who earned the gold medal at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo aboard a set of Lightweight wheels.

As Rare as Gold

While gold may be precious, our MEILENSTEIN EVO wheels are built tough to handle the extreme forces found from daily training to the highest stages of cycling competition. Yet, like gold, our new special-edition wheels are equally exceedingly rare. Limited to just 99 individually numbered sets—33 available to European customers, 33 for Asia/Pacific, and 33 for the Americas—if you did manage to get your hands on a set, we can all-but guarantee you’ll be the only one on your group ride rolling on Lightweight gold.

Made available on a first come, first served basis, the MEILENSTEIN EVO Signature Gold Edition wheelsets have all sold and will be shipped to their respective homes around the world shortly. So, keep an eye out the next time your local peloton passes. If you catch a glint of something bright and shiny spinning by, maybe it will be from a set of MEILENSTEIN EVO Signature Gold Edition wheels.
