Newmen Forge 30 Rear Wheel - Strong | 29" | Clincher | 6-Bolt - 12x148mm - HG

Forge 30 – Aluminum Price-Performance Killer

Reliable, modern aluminum wheels for every type of mountain bike and at a fair price. To deliver the performance you need, the Forge 30 wheels from Newmen feature the extremely durable rim profile found on the Beskar high-end models. In exchange, a slightly modified selection of materials is used, but without unnecessarily increasing the weight. Various versions make the Forge family a solid choice for every application, whether XC, Trail, Enduro or Downhill.

The high-quality aluminum rims feature a pin joint construction and achieve top marks in terms of impact resistance and dent resistance thanks to their extensively tested design. With an inner width of 30 mm, they are ideally suited for tire widths ranging from 2.3 to 2.6 inches as well as for riding with low tire pressure. In addition, the flat rim profile gives the tires a rounder shape, resulting in better cornering grip. Also when it comes to the hubs, the Forge 30 wheels rely on proven technology by using the Fade MTB models. Only high-quality bearings are used in these lightweight yet reliable hubs, while the housing is reinforced at critical points with additional material. On the rear hub, three pawls, a newly developed tooth profile and an enlarged freewheel diameter ensure optimal, smooth and quiet power transfer. Reliability is also a top priority with the Sapim Race spokes. These are easy to maintain and not too heavy. Spokes you don’t have to worry about.

Light, Base, Strong or DH?

To offer the perfect wheel for every riding style, Newmen has developed four rim variants: Light, Base, Strong and DH. While the rim profile remains the same, the wall thickness varies. This allows for weight savings on the front wheel which experiences slightly less stress, while the rear wheel features increased stability. Depending on the intended use, the following combinations are recommended:

• XC = Light front wheel + Light rear wheel
• Trail = Light front wheel + Base rear wheel
• Enduro = Base front wheel + Strong rear wheel
• DH = Strong front wheel + Strong rear wheel
• DH Race = Strong front wheel + DH rear wheel

Accordingly, the Forge 30 Strong rear wheel is suitable for both Enduro and Downhill mountain bikes. Depending on your preference, the Forge 30 front wheel in either the Base or Strong version is the perfect complement.

Forge 30 Enduro | Light up front, durable in the back. Newmen’s Forge 30 Enduro wheelset implements this concept with a Base rim on the front wheel and a Strong rim on the rear wheel. While the lighter front wheel saves weight experiencing less stress, the more robust rear wheel improves stability and reliability on your single-track adventures. Combine this modular wheel concept with the proven Fade MTB hubs and high-quality Sapim Race spokes and you get an outstanding balance of durability, weight and price.

Forge 30 DH | Race at high speeds through rocky terrain and over big jumps. Even in the toughest conditions, with the Forge 30 DH wheelset you don’t have to worry. For maximum impact resistance and puncture protection, the Strong rims used on both the front and rear wheel feature the same durable profile as the Beskar premium models. Together with the tried-and-true Fade MTB hubs and 32 Sapim Race spokes on each wheel, there's nothing that can stop you from tackling challenging descents and spending long days at the bike park.
