2025 Lightweight Pfadfinder EVO Disc Tubeless Wheelset

Built for riders who push beyond the pavement

• Rim-to-Rim Design
• Made in Germany

RIDE WHERE THE ROAD ENDS

Engineered entirely from carbon, this disc gravel wheelset delivers confident control across unpredictable terrain. With extended tire clearance up to 40 mm and a precision-optimized layup, it balances comfort and responsiveness on every ride. The Pentagon hub improves braking performance, offering stability and ease even on long and demanding descents. Compatible with today’s leading group sets and easily adaptable to various axle systems via the DT Swiss hub, PFADFINDER EVO is designed to move with you wherever the ride leads.

PENTAGON HUB

The Pentagon Hub is engineering for maximum power transmission, combining technical precision with lightweight performance. The polygonal hub shape creates a secure flow of power from the tire to the disc, improving safety on long descents. For riders wanting every possible advantage, Ceramic Speed bearings are available as an upgrade.

R2R DESIGN – RIM-TO-RIM DESIGN

R2R, or Rim to Rim, is Lightweight’s proprietary spoke design used in the PFADFINDER EVO wheelset. Each carbon spoke runs in one continuous line from rim to rim, passing through the hub without any bends, breaks, or mechanical connectors.

This uninterrupted structure eliminates the need for weight-adding parts, like nipples or threads, which are prone to loosening or wear over time. By keeping fibers aligned under constant tension, the structure retains full tensile strength, outstanding stiffness, and long-term durability.

Each spoke is permanently bonded to the hub using high-performance adhesive. There is no material fatigue or loss of spoke tension, just consistent performance with every ride.

LCC - LIGHTWEIGHT CUSTOM COMPOSITE

Lightweight Custom Composite is a proprietary material technology developed for minimal weight and maximum performance. Every layer is precisely engineered to deliver the perfect balance of stiffness, responsiveness, and long-term durability. The result is a tailor-made, high-performance composite that enhances efficiency, sharpens ride feel, and meets the highest demands of cycling.

HANDCRAFTED PRECISION

Handcrafted Precision reflects the care and craftsmanship behind each Lightweight wheel. Key processes are performed by hand to ensure exceptional consistency and attention to detail. This hands-on approach upholds the highest standards of quality and delivers performance you can trust.

Made in Germany Innovation represents the foundation of Lightweight’s engineering excellence. Developed and produced in Friedrichshafen, every wheel draws on decades of expertise, combining advanced technology with rigorous standards to meet the demands of serious cyclists around the world.
