Lightweight's Meilenstein wheel is the German brand's most successful road wheel, an exceedingly stiff, arrow-fast performer well-suited to the rigors of modern road riding. As the proving grounds of Marin County attest, the Meilenstein climbs, descends and barrels along the flats at quite a clip - an excellent all-rounder on the road that does everything well.

Impeccably engineered and handmade in Germany, the Meilenstein, like all of Lightweight's wheels, is a watchword for quality and precision. It features the brand's proprietary Pentagon hub, a sleeve that all but resists twisting under hard braking, a welcome characteristic that inspires confidence on the rivet.

The Meilenstein Non-Disc Tubular Wheel is available at Above Category in Lightweight's Schwarz Edition, an exclusive model that features CeramicSpeed bearing upgrades and all-black spokes, rims and logos. Does it look faster? We think so.
