Lightweight was founded in 1994 by Heinz Obermayer, one of the original creators of the carbon spoked wheel, just a year earlier in 1993. These pioneering wheels offered unprecedented strength-to-weight ratios. Their introduction, designed for optimal acceleration, climbing efficiency, and overall handling, set the stage for what would become a legacy of high-performance cycling products.
Today, Lightweight continues to build on Obermayer's legacy, representing the pinnacle of performance. They offer a perfect blend of cutting-edge technology, premium materials, and meticulous craftsmanship. The advanced carbon fiber construction provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring that every ride is faster, more efficient, and more enjoyable. Lightweight wheels are thoroughly tested to perform under the most demanding conditions, delivering consistent, reliable performance race after race. With their sleek, aerodynamic design, these premium wheels offer not just superior speed, but also exceptional aesthetics.
