Newmen Launches New Phase 30 & Beskar 30 MTB Wheels
PRESS RELEASE: Newmen
Developed in the Allgäu Alps, ridden around the world: Driven by our passion for new innovation Newmen Components launches with Phase 30 and Beskar 30 two brand new wheelset families for mountain bikers. In order to achieve the best possible weight and strenght for all aspects of mountain biking 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 optimized for front/rear and each discipline as well - even down to different spoke counts. So every mountain biker can find an optimized wheel configuration in our new Phase 30 and Beskar 30 lineup.
Optimized wheel configurations for every discipline: The Beskar 30 Base you can use on a trail bike on the rear or as an enduro front wheel.
In Your Phase: High-End MTB Carbon Wheels
With the new Phase 30 series, wheel specialist Newmen Components is heralding a new era in MTB carbon wheels. Whether for cross-country racing, trail biking or rough enduro trails, every mountain biker will find a suitable, stable carbon wheelset at a fair price in the Phase 30 range. The basis for the high-end carbon wheels is a further development of the proven, successful Advanced SL rim with improved durability and weight.
The Phase 30 Base wheel is stable enough as a trailbike rear wheel or front in Enduro bikes.
Rims and spokes: Perfectly matched for every Phase 30 wheelset
As strong as necessary, as light as possible: Depending on the discipline, three different hookless carbon rims are used in the Newmen Phase 30 series - all with an internal width of 30 millimeters. They are called Light, Base and Strong. Thanks to the weight-optimized Phase Light rim on the front and rear, the cross-country wheels, which have already been tested at the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup, weigh only 1350 grams. In the Phase 30 Trail version, the more robust Base rim on the rear wheel provides more stability for adventures in the mountains. Furthermore Newmen has developed the Phase 30 Strong rims for enduro use and a maximum system weight of 180 kg, which will not shy away from enduro races and bike parks. Compared to the previous version, it retains its excellent impact resistance but is 50 grams lighter.

But the new carbon rims are only one component of the new Newmen Phase 30 mtb wheels. The thickness of the spokes has also been optimized for each area of use and for both front and rear wheels. Combined with the lightweight and extremely reliable FADE MTB hubs, the Phase 30 series offers mountain bikers the most stable carbon wheels we have ever built at NEWMEN. So nothing stands in the way of using it on an eMTB.

Gourmet Metal: Beskar High-End MTB Alloy Wheels
Newmen Beskar 30 MTB Wheelset Family
An uncompromisingly light wheel at a fair price that you can rely on in every situation: With the new Beskar 30 series, Newmen raises the bar for high-quality aluminum wheels by one tire width. Whether as a parts accelerator for cross-country racing bikes, as a tuning upgrade for trail bikes to enduro bikes or nearly indestructible for downhill use: almost every (e-)mountain biker will find a first-class aluminum wheel at a reasonable price in the Newmen Beskar 30 family.
The new Beskar 30 Base aluminum rim achieves the best impact resistance values in its weight class on the test bench - both in comparison to its predecessor and the competition.
Downhill confidence with more stable rear wheels
The basis are four new aluminum rims developed in the Allgäu with maximum dent resistance and minimum weight. Depending on the specific riding demands, the Beskar rims – from Light to DH – are combined with the proven, lightweight FADE MTB hub on the front and rear wheels. For more stiffness and traction in rough terrain, Beskar's Enduro and Downhill versions not only increase the number of spokes, but also their thickness.
All five new Newmen high-end aluminum wheelsets have one thing in common: the 30 millimeter wide aluminum rims with their flat profile achieve the best impact resistance values in their weight class on the test bench – compared to both their predecessors and the competition. That's why the sturdy Beskar 30 wheels with their welded aluminum rims easily meet the requirements of e-mountain bikes - from light eMTBs to enduro eMTBs.

Of course now if you google Phase 30 wheel you get Newmen as well as Chromag
No kidding, the DH race is an 800g+ rim
It had better be sturdy for that weight.
Honestly, they're the only mid-priced quiet and reliable hub on the market. I can't overstate how much I despise loud or unreliable hubs (cough, cough, EVERYONE).
(their alloy rims are fantastic.)
I had a an Advanced SL A30 wheelset, one of their most premium set. My back wheel was rattling constantly. I have found out that the bearing housing in the hub was slightly out of tolerance. Instead of offering a new hub they changed the bearing to a non standard size, slightly bigger, which means it's going to be a pain to source it when I will have to change it. I was not the only one as there are a couple of videos and testimonies relating the same hub issue on the internet.
The silver hub also started to get pitted, when I have shown them they directly accused me to clean my bike with agressive product. So I explained I am using WD40 BIKE CLEANER and water, not the degreaser but they said it's the same product and it's not made for bicycles, ok Newmen... So how do you explain my silver DT Swiss hub and the silver Hope components stayed immaculate for years with the same treatment?
Haha, i had the "same" story with my hope brakes...
What a mess with the swiss distributor...
The cause of the issue was, he said that, that i wash my bike with muc-off...
Warranty denied...
But there was a first badge of the brakes, they had scratches in the lever piston. Mine had exactly the same scratches.
And @hopetech didn't request my mails any more...
Do better, calm down, be well
