Lightweight Wegweiser EVO Tubeless Carbon Clincher DISC Wheels

Season:2021

Brand:Lightweight

Code:20B5

Since its foundation, Lightweight has set its focus on the professional workmanship of carbon for its world-renowned and numerous award-winning wheels. Lightweight engineers embrace the challenge of developing more precise and higher quality standard production methods and draw on the technologies used in their aerospace and Satellite production to bring exceptional stiffness, low weight control and overarching strength to their wheels.

For 2020, Lightweight have introduced a new Generation EVO range that is an evolution of their performance oriented disc brake wheels, setting new benchmarks in their respective fields of use. The Wegweiser EVO takes the innovative and sophisticated ideas of the original and combines higher modulus CFRP (high stiffness) fibres with tubeless technology to achieve not only increased acceleration, more precise handling and breathtaking braking control but also improved comfort during the ride.

The key features of Lightweight’s Generation EVO include a new Carbon lay-up and layer structure that help deliver greater stiffness values with unique power transmission while at the same time delivering improved comfort. Key to this is the use of new higher modulus CFRP fibres that enhance stiffness at very low weight. 

The other key change is the adoption of a Tubeless rim profile - an inevitable evolution considering the now rapid assimilation of Tubeless into the market. It is a design feature that, when partnered with the new construction, makes the WEGWEISER (and Meilenstein) EVO wheels suitable for Cyclocross and Gravel use, allowing you to reap the benefits of the super low weight and incredible stiffness and strength. The new EVO series also deliver enhanced rolling characteristics, comfort and unrivalled disc brake performance, making the Wegweiser EVO more versatile than ever - at home on demanding climbs and descents as much as taking on the gruelling 'cross circuit, or churning it out on epic gravel adventures.

The low rim height - crucial in bad weather conditions as it reduces vulnerability to side winds - also improves handling qualities in a variety of terrains. The low rotating weight guarantees a smooth ride at lower energy consumption while the innovative pentagon hub prevents the brakes from dangerous overheating when exposed to intense stress. 

Lightweight originally held off on producing a disc version of it's wheels until it was happy it could deal safely with the heat build-up. The danger with a wheel made entirely from carbon is that the disc rotor might not stay rigidly fixed in the hubshell if the composite’s integrity is affected by excess heat - a disc rotor can generate 400oC when stopping from 60 to 0kph. To combat this, Lightweight has created a unique pentagon-shaped hubshell to combat any chance of rotational movement. The hubs look quite chunky, which means they may give away some aerodynamic proficiency, but it’s likely you’ll be too busy enjoying the thrill of the quick acceleration and deft handling to notice a tiny percentage of extra drag. The Wegweiser uses the same hub and spokes as the Meilenstein Disc but comes in at a lower price thanks to the semi-automation (and thus less time consuming) manufacturing process. Built as an all-round performer, the Wegweiser has a more modern, flatter rim shape that is 36mm deep and which can accommodate a tyre up to 32mm wide, making it ideal for long days in the saddle over tough terrain and as such it will appeal to those looking for the best wheel for endurance riding or those riding less forgiving road surfaces or taking to the less beaten path.

The WEGWEISER EVO not only presents breathtaking statistics and performance values but the revolutionary rim technology applied to a semi-automated manufacturing process, combined with skilled manual craftsmanship has enhanced the wheels' precision. The modern rim width of 24mm, combined with a flat 36mm rim depth balances modern aerodynamic needs with precise handling and control afforded by the direct connection between the spokes and the rim - all for a total weight of only 1450 grams for the pair.

The directly connected carbon fibre spokes achieve unparallelled precision and control when the brake is applied and in addition, the innovative pentagon hub system increases safety during braking. The 20 spoke front and rear design balances braking forces with low weight and the built-in DT-Swiss hub allows for a quick change to different axle standards.

A new layup, the integration of tubeless technology and the application of special CFRP fibres not only make the new Generation EVO more stable, more durable and more efficient but also more versatile than ever. For the rider, this means an even more efficient power transmission, excellent handling, improved rolling characteristics, more precise and safe braking performance and, most of all, more speed. Despite the tremendous stiffness, the comfort factor has been significantly improved – long rides will now be even more power saving.
