A COMPLETE SENSORY EXPERIENCE

FERNWEG EVO PRO delivers more than speed; it channels power into precision. It’s designed with a high-profile aerodynamic rim and crafted to the same exacting standards that have defined Lightweight for nearly four decades. This wheelset takes the original FERNWEG EVO further, shedding weight while maintaining strength and stiffness.

Built to the same standards as OBERMAYER EVO, it delivers exceptional stiffness-to-weight values and rapid acceleration. The aerodynamic profile cuts cleanly through the air, while CeramicSpeed bearings help deliver a smooth, almost frictionless ride. Every element is engineered to translate power directly into forward momentum. From the feel of the road to the sound of the wheels cutting through wind, FERNWEG EVO PRO offers a complete sensory experience.

PENTAGON SL HUB

The Pentagon SL Hub reduces total weight of the hub by 70 grams per set and improves aerodynamics, while advanced heat dissipation ensures reliability even under extreme braking. The polygonal hub shape creates a secure flow of power from the tire to the disc, improving safety on long descents. For riders wanting every possible advantage, CeramicSpeed bearings are available as an upgrade.

R2R DESIGN – RIM-TO-RIM DESIGN

R2R, or Rim to Rim, is Lightweight’s proprietary spoke design used in the FERNWEG EVO PRO wheelset. Each carbon spoke runs in one continuous line from rim to rim, passing through the hub without any bends, breaks, or mechanical connectors.

This uninterrupted structure eliminates the need for weight-adding parts, like nipples or threads, which are prone to loosening or wear over time. By keeping fibers aligned under constant tension, the structure retains full tensile strength, outstanding stiffness, and long-term durability.

Each spoke is permanently bonded to the hub using high-performance adhesive. There is no material fatigue or loss of spoke tension, just consistent performance with every ride.

LCC - LIGHTWEIGHT CUSTOM COMPOSITE

Lightweight Custom Composite is a proprietary material technology developed for minimal weight and maximum performance. Every layer is precisely engineered to deliver the perfect balance of stiffness, responsiveness, and long-term durability. The result is a tailor-made, high-performance composite that enhances efficiency, sharpens ride feel, and meets the highest demands of cycling.

HANDCRAFTED PRECISION
MADE IN GERMANY

Handcrafted Precision reflects the care and craftsmanship behind each Lightweight wheel. Key processes are performed by hand to ensure exceptional consistency and attention to detail. This hands-on approach upholds the highest standards of quality and delivers performance you can trust.

Made in Germany Innovation represents the foundation of Lightweight’s engineering excellence. Developed and produced in Friedrichshafen, every wheel draws on decades of expertise, combining advanced technology with rigorous standards to meet the demands of serious cyclists around the world.

Our models MEILENSTEIN Tubular and GIPFELSTURM have been approved for cross-country racing, as far as the mechanical loads alone are concerned. Are limitations in terms of durability of the braking surface is considerably compared to the pure road use. Thus, the braking surface of our cyclocross wheels wear out much faster. Information about the durability can not be made ​​at this point, this is very much on the rider, route and depending on degree of soiling.
