{"product_id":"ma28d12020-25-115","title":"LW Meilenstein ART Wheelset (Schwartz, Campag EXP N3W)","description":"### A New Era of Engineering\n\nFour years in the making, the new Lightweight wheelset signals a new era in carbon wheel engineering.\n\nEvery part of the process has been rethought, rebuilt, and refined. At its core is a completely re-engineered rim architecture, reinforced with Alpha Rib Technology. This patented internal rib structure unlocks a wider, more aerodynamic profile while increasing stiffness and reducing weight. A combination once thought impossible, now achieved.\n\nThis is Lightweight's most advanced wheelset yet. With the perfect intersection of aerodynamics, construction, and control, it is built for riders who demand nothing less than peak performance.\n\n### ART - Alpha Rib Technology\n\nThe MEILENSTEIN ART rim is built on Alpha Rib Technology (ART), a breakthrough born from Lightweight's pioneering work in composite engineering.\n\nRather than a traditional hollow structure, ART integrates a network of structural ribs inside the rim cavity. This internal architecture dramatically increases lateral stiffness, reinforcing the profile against side loads, and ensuring razor-sharp handling and efficient power transfer.\n\nART also transforms the spoke interface. Carbon fibre spokes are directly bonded into the internal rib structure, eliminating unnecessary bends and preserving the natural load path of the fibers. This allows for greater tensile strength, reduced material fatigue, and a more direct, responsive connection between rider and road.\n\nThe result is a rim that is lighter, stiffer, and more structurally efficient. A defining step forward in composite wheel technology.\n\n### DRS — DRAG REDUCTION SHAPE\n\nMEILENSTEIN ART is built for speed and stability. With a 23 mm internal width, it's optimized for wider tires and performs with confidence in every wind condition. The aerodynamic profile slices through headwinds and stays steady in crosswinds for a ride that feels fast, focused, and fully in control.\n\n### R2R Design — Rim-to-Rim Design\n\nR2R, or Rim to Rim, is Lightweight’s proprietary spoke design used in the MEILENSTEIN ART wheelset. Each carbon spoke runs in one continuous line from rim to rim, passing through the hub without any bends, breaks, or mechanical connectors.\n\n### Penta-Fly Hub\n\nThe Penta-Fly Hub features oversized flanges that increase lateral and torsional stiffness to support power and control, even during hard acceleration or braking. A compact hub body reduces drag for improved aerodynamic efficiency. The exposed spoke interface reveals the engineering behind the design, with nothing hidden and nothing unnecessary.\n\n### Rct — Reusable Core Technology\n\nTo create the hollow rim and its integrated carbon rib structure, we use a removable core technology. A specially designed core is wrapped in carbon fibers and infused with resin, forming the exact internal geometry required for maximum stiffness and strength. Once cured, the core is carefully extracted, leaving a lightweight hollow structure reinforced by internal ribs. The core material is then recycled and reused in future production, reducing waste while maintaining technical precision.\n\nThis process makes it possible to build structurally complex rims with absolute consistency, combining performance engineering with a commitment to sustainable manufacturing.\n\n### LCC — Lightweight Custom Composite\n\nLightweight 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.\n\n### Handcrafted Precision — Made in Germany\nHandcrafted 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.\n\nMade 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.\n\n### Smooth Carbon Finish\n\nThe new MEILENSTEIN ART features a sleek, refined surface unlike anything else in the Lightweight range. Departing from the traditional visible carbon weave, its smooth finish highlights the wheel's advanced construction and modern aesthetic, giving a clean and distinctive look that reflects the innovation behind it.\n\n### Versions\n\nMEILENSTEIN ART is available in two versions. The Standard version features “Lightweight Silver” decals and steel bearings and the Schwarz ED version includes “Lightweight Black” decals and CeramicSpeed bearings.\n\n### Technical Data\n\n| | |\n|-|-|\n| **Decal Colour** | Standard | Schwartz ED |\n| **Beatings** | Standard: Steel bearings | Schwartz ED: CeramicSpeed bearings |\n| **Wheelset Weight** | 1.190 kg (±3%) |\n| **Front Wheel Weight** | 500 g |\n| **Rear Wheel Weight** | 640 g |\n| **Rim Depth** | 45 mm |\n| **Internal Rim Width** | 22.9 mm |\n| **External Rim Width** | 28.6 mm |\n| **Rim Design** | 700C | hooked | closed rim bed |\n| **Optimized Tyre Size** | 28 mm |\n| **Tyre Type** | Tubeless Ready |\n| **Spokes** | 20 Full-carbon Front\/Rear |\n| **Hub** | Penta-Fly | DT Swiss EXP 180 |\n| **Freehub Systems** | Shimano | SRAM | Campag |\n| **Brake System** | Disc Centrelock |\n| **Spacing** | 12 × 100 | 12 × 142 mm |\n| **Max.
