Lightweight has announced a limited-edition run of its Meilenstein Evo wheels, which have 23-carat gold leaf graphics.<\/p>

Only 99 sets of the Lightweight Meilenstein Evo Signature Gold Edition will be available to buy: 33 in Europe, 33 in the Americas and 33 in the Asia-Pacific region.<\/p>

Lightweight makes some of the most expensive and lightest road bike wheels<\/a> in the world.<\/p>

But the gold leaf graphics and ceramic bearings<\/a> hike the price of the Meilenstein Evo Signature Gold Edition even further to \u00a37,699 a set.\u00a0<\/p>

The gold logos also nod to the upcoming Paris Olympics. Richard Carapaz<\/a> will defend the road race title he won on Lightweight Meilenstein wheels at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.\u00a0<\/p>

The Meilenstein Evos are tubeless, disc brake carbon wheels claimed to weigh 1,380g.\u00a0<\/p>

Lightweight says its most versatile wheel is suitable for gravel riding<\/a> as well as road use, thanks to its robust construction, despite a maximum recommended tyre width of 32mm.\u00a0<\/p>

It claims the Meilenstein Evo\u2019s high stiffness-to-weight ratio provides controlled handling, precise braking and fast acceleration, while tubeless technology boosts comfort.\u00a0<\/p>

The front wheel\u2019s Pentagon hub improves braking performance on long descents, while the rear DT Swiss 240 Pentagon hub ensures compatibility with most types of axle, according to the brand.\u00a0<\/p>

The hubs are compatible with Shimano, Campagnolo and SRAM freehubs<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>

Both wheels have 20 full-carbon spokes to enhance rigidity and power transfer, according to Lightweight.\u00a0<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
