Wheels for trail use
Evolution SL A.30
The multiple test winner. The 30mm inner width allows low air pressures without the round dance flexing too much and due to the enormous dent resistance of the flared rim flanks, the wheelset is even suitable for weight-conscious Enduro riders. Thanks to the new Fade hub technology, this high-end aluminum wheelset is extremely quiet and thus provides a completely new driving experience.

Wheels for enduro and EMTB use
Advanced SL A.30
Going full enduro… with carbon? Driven by the success of aluminum rims in enduro use, Newmen has developed a 30mm carbon rim. The result of this project is an industry-leading weight to durability ratio. As it turned out in the course of the practical test, the new Newmen Advanced SL A.30 is even stable enough for our EWS riders. Equipped with the new hub technology with an extremely quiet Fade freewheel, this not only results in a particularly light and stable wheelset, but also in a very quiet one.
Material: carbon
Impeller size: 29 inch / 27,5 inch
Front wheel weight: 740g/710g
Rear wheel weight: 870g / 840g
Installation dimension front wheel: 15 × 110
Installation dimension rear wheel: 12 × 148
Spokes: Sapim Laser
brake mount: center lock
freewheel: Microspline, XD, HG
RRP wheelset: €1.450
Evolution SL EG30
The wheel set for long days in the bike park and for everyone who is at full throttle in enduro races. The 30mm rim width is the ideal compromise for modern enduro tires, as it allows low air pressure without the round dance in curves or compressions flexing too much. Thanks to the significantly quieter freewheel of the Newmen Fade rear hub, you can fully concentrate on the trail. Stable enough for a system weight of up to 150kg and use on E-MTBs.
Also available in silver.

Newmen fade hubs
The new Newmen Fade hub generation. The development goal was a freewheel that was as quiet as possible with improved reliability in the usual Newmen quality. The result is a completely new development with a large fade freewheel system. Three pawls now work in this instead of the previous two toothed discs. The large diameter of the Fade freewheel reduces the forces that occur during freewheeling and the newly designed tooth profile ensures significantly reduced freewheel noise. The three pawls are very short and wide, which ensures a large and therefore gentle power transmission.
As with the previous hubs, there is more material in the new Fade hubs at the neuralgic points and therefore more safety than with other hubs. All new Fade hubs are approved for E-MTB use without exception. Of course, available with all three freewheel types (Shimano, XD, MicroSpline).
