Lightweight Standard III - A dream becomes true

We call it Standard - for others it is a dream come true. Roll around 15 years now since Lightweight wheels on the tracks and roads of this world. Countless pros rely on the performance, the stiffness and the sensational low weight of the Lightweight Standard wheels. The third generation of the standard wheels offers through its optimized wheel design and the use of newly developed carbon-spoke again a significant increase of 30% stiffer and thus more acceleration, security and control.

The front wheel is equipped with three different figures (16 and 20 spokes) are available. The rear wheel 20 or the sprinters among us even 24 spokes. This wish has world-class sprinters like Erik Zabel and Mario Cippolini approached us worn - and we have responded!

Handcrafted in Germany

Lightweight – there is nearly no roadie that doesn´t get shiny eyes when hearing that word. No wonder, the name Lightweight is a synonym for THE perfect wheel. Light, stiff, aerodynamic, durable, fast – and simple outstanding beautiful. Lightweight – also a piece of German craftsmanship and a story of success with a whole bunch of homeland roots. What started in the middle Nineties with the invention of the Lightweight wheels by the prime fathers Rudolf Dierl and Heinz Obermayer, who worked very hard in their small garage near Munich on finding the right procedures and inventing the perfect tools until they were happy with what they got: Building the best wheel of the world! Meanwhile Lightweight wheels have approved in some details – but there is still one thing to build them: Lot´s of handcraft!

1. BikeRadar on 12/13/2011, said:

The radical-looking Lightweights are actually lighter than the best conventional opposition, but their on-road responsiveness is outstanding. As the name suggests, these Standard IIIs are the third evolution of Lightweight's more affordable tubular road wheelset. The radical, full-carbon construction, handmade in Germany, runs fibres straight through the lens-shaped carbon spokes from rim to rim. This not only makes them very light, but also incredibly stiff. Even initial cynics commented on the very obvious increase in cornering accuracy and power responsiveness compared to conventional wheels of the same overall weight. Aerodynamics and speed sustain are good too, and the shock absorption from the full-composite construction mean they’re not uncomfortable either. We used the lightest 16/20 spoke setup, but various other spoke options (16/24, 20/20, 20/24) are available for heavier riders. Each wheel is chipped for total build quality control too.
