About the Lightweight brand

Lightweight are the makers of premium lightweight spoked, disc, fixed and track bicycle wheels. The history of Lightweight Wheels is tightly connected with the world’s best and most successful pro cyclists, they were the individuals who gave Lightweight a name in the bike industry, by actually purchasing these revolutionary wheels and then using them in World Cup events and the major tours in place of the wheels they were paid to ride. Lightweight wheels are produced by Carbon Sports who specialize in high-end sports equipment. Their goal is to develop and produce the best products to help every athlete realize their potential. Carbon fiber opens the way for new shapes and properties and only the use of new materials can make these significant advances possible. Carbon fiber is vastly superior to other materials when the goal is to combine low weight and high efficiency. The future in sports equipment belongs to carbon fiber. Realizing the enormous potential of composite materials requires advanced technological know-how, experience and the greatest attention to detail during the production process, which are prerequisites for Lightweights quality products. Lightweight is proud to have Certifications from Fairchild-Dornier and Dasa-Zert, who are the quality certification body of Daimler-Chrysler Aerospace, this testifies the superior quality of their composite materials. A second certificate for the highest quality standards was issued by Fairchild-Dornier. Both certify that Lightweights production standards meet the level required in the aerospace industry, by far exceeding the standards currently found in the bicycle business.
