Germans aren't prone to overstatement. So when Lightweight says that its Meilenstein Evo wheelset is "probably the most exclusive and powerful full carbon clincher wheelset in the world", you know the brand mean business. And, if your goal is to climb, descend and barrel along the flats faster than ever before, from our experience riding them here at AC, the Meilenstein Evos will help you get there. And then some.

Impeccably engineered and handmade in Germany, the Meilenstein Evo is a tubeless, disc-ready clincher. Like the other versions under the Meilenstein banner, it has become a watchword for quality and precision amongst discerning roadies. The wheels feature the brand's proprietary Pentagon hub, a sleeve that all but resists twisting, resulting in fine-grain steering and consummate braking performance.

The Meilenstein Evo wheels are 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.
