Takapyörä NEWMEN Phase Carbon 30 light 29" 28H SP 6-bolt 12x148 XD

Advanced becomes Phase - Newmen provides special wheels for every area of application within this series. Whether cross-country racing or trail adventures, you always get a specifically adapted model. But they all have one thing in common: Newmen's high quality.

The Phase Light rear wheel is the first choice for every XC racer. It shines with the lowest weight and first-class riding characteristics. The perfectly processed carbon fibers of the rim are extremely impact-resistant and give it incredible stability. This enables loss-free propulsion at all times. A special production process makes reworking and painting unnecessary. This saves even more grams.

The very generous inner width of 30 mm, together with the slightly outward-positioned sidewall, gives the tire an optimally rounded shape, which is reflected in better grip and more comfort. Newmen has opted for a hookless rim flange, which has been reinforced and prevents possible punctures. This has been reinforced and is better able to withstand possible punctures. As a result, less air pressure can be used and optimum tubeless compatibility is achieved.

Newmen's own FADE hub is in no way inferior to the rim. User-friendliness has been placed in the foreground. It is not necessary to adjust the axial bearing play. The bearings are pressed in precisely and tension-free ex works. The seal is also perfect, so that water and dirt have no chance of penetrating inside. A pawl freewheel converts your acceleration into propulsion. To ensure reliable operation, the pawls are very short and wide in order to better distribute the forces that occur. Despite the relatively low weight of the hubs, safety has not been compromised. It is better to use a little more material at critical points, such as the transition between the brake disk and spoke mount, than to risk a defect.

The rim and hub are connected with lightweight Sapim Laser spokes. Their center section, tapered to 1.5 mm, saves weight and is elastic. This increases comfort and any load peaks can better digested without causing damage.
