These don't look like the sneak peak images, but does anyone know what model these are? Velonews (source) says they are Lightweight Meilenstein. I assume they are Lightweight based on the hub and carbon weave, but the spokes look molded into the rim and hub similar to Madfiber. They also don't appear to have the spoke ties when they cross.

It looks very similar to what Taiwan mfg Gigantex / Equinox had shown before.

Very dissapointing launch for me. Was hoping for more of revolution than this small evolution. Weight saving compared to the normal Meilenstein Evo is rather small. The Meilenstein T24D remains the lightest disc wheel in the Meilenstein series. No improvement in aerodynamics.

I don't understand why they are 24mm wide. That means to get aero benefits they can only be used with 23mm wide tyres.

OK for team Ineos in the mountains, but maybe 10 years behind the times for most customers.

Look nice but slightly disappointed not to see something a bit more innovative. When it comes to a lightweight disc wheel set, there are plenty of other options not too much heavier, a lot cheaper, more aero and more serviceable.

Tempting as an out and out climbing wheel set, but hard to justify.

Lightweight probably isn't exactly that "lightweight" these days with lots of other competitors cathing up, but if we factor in weight-stifness ratio, LW's are still advantegous. Though with Partington R-series joining the race, it's not impossible to see LW get dethroned. And I agree, with the Obermayer moniker, they should've done something more innovative; it's a bit underwhelming what they did here.
