NEWMEN Wheelset - Forge 30 | Downhill Race

Overview

To achieve the best possible weight and strength at specific price points, we have optimized our wheel configurations for different disciplines by using different weight variants of our rims for front and rear wheels. The spoke selection is also optimized for front/rear and each discipline - down to the number of spokes.

• Set Weight: 2025g
• Comparable function to Beskar with slightly higher weight, but slightly cheaper
• All Forge wheels with Sapim 2.0-1.8-2.0 spokes
• High-quality 6069 aluminum rim with very good dent resistance
• Ideal support for modern 2.3" to 2.6" MTB tires
• wider tires (and rims) do not make sense in our eyes, because then too little pressure is required to maintain comfort. This results in a mushy ride.
• Proven 28h FADE MTB hubs --> inaudible freewheel on the trail
• Rim with black shotpeen finish
• Discreet laser/sticker artwork
• 32 Sapim 2.0-1.65-2.0 spokes
• Dent resistance incomparable to any other rim on the market
• For DH World Cup racers, the durability of wheels has been a major problem in the past. Due to the very limited training time on the race weekend and only one rated run in the final, defects must be ruled out
• That's why we developed the Forge 30 DH rim, which is probably the only rim on the rear wheel that is guaranteed to survive the entire race weekend
• Shallow rim profile for optimized comfort and grip
• As Beskar's little brother, it offers an optimal price/performance ratio
• Tubeless ready with hook
• Max. 180kg system weight
