Lightweight OBERMAYER EVO – Maximum stiffness and speed without compromise
The OBERMAYER EVO is the perfect combination of power, lightness and absolute control .
Weighing just 1,230 grams overall, it's one of the lightest disc wheels ever made, designed to excel on climbs, in races and during the most demanding training sessions.
Every pedal stroke translates into immediate propulsion , without any energy loss, thanks to an unrivalled stiffness/weight ratio .
Pure power at every rotation
The OBERMAYER EVO transforms every watt into progress, giving a feeling of immediate responsiveness.
Every component is optimized to provide explosive acceleration on climbs , stability on descents and impeccable smoothness on the flats.
A true benchmark in the lightweight racing wheel segment.
Pentagon SL Hub – efficiency and thermal control
The Pentagon SL hub reduces weight by 70 grams per set compared to the previous generation and further improves overall aerodynamics.
Its polygonal shape guarantees direct and safe power transmission , even during intense braking phases or on prolonged descents.
The advanced heat dissipation system ensures stability and reliability even under extreme conditions.
Available with CeramicSpeed bearings in the Schwarz ED version for those who want maximum performance.
R2R Design – Rim-to-Rim
The Rim-to-Rim (R2R) design is Lightweight's trademark:
Each carbon spoke runs in a single continuous line from rim to rim , crossing the hub without interruptions or mechanical joints.
This construction eliminates unnecessary components such as nipples or threads, reducing weight and increasing durability.
The result is a wheel:
-
stiffer laterally ;
-
immune from loosening or loss of tension;
-
with an instant and precise response in any load condition.
Each spoke is permanently bonded to the hub with high-performance structural adhesives , ensuring stability and consistency over time .
LCC – Lightweight Custom Composite
Each layer of fiber is positioned according to a precise tension pattern thanks to Lightweight Custom Composite (LCC) technology.
This approach allows you to achieve a perfect balance between:
-
torsional stiffness,
-
dynamic reactivity,
-
comfort and long-term durability.
A tailor-made construction to ensure maximum efficiency and driving sensitivity .
Handcrafted precision, German production
Each OBERMAYER EVO wheel is handbuilt in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
The critical stages of the process are performed manually to ensure maximum uniformity, quality and attention to detail .
The result is a product with minimal tolerances, capable of offering consistent and reliable performance for thousands of kilometers.
