Newmen Forge 30 Front Wheel - Light | 29" | Clincher | 6-Bolt - 15x110mm

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 Light front wheel is suitable for both Cross Country and Trail mountain bikes. Depending on your preference, the Forge 30 rear wheel in either the Light or Base version is the perfect complement.

Forge 30 XC | For the wheelset designed specifically for cross-country riding, Newmen uses the Forge 30 aluminum rims in the Light version on both the front and the rear wheel. The combination of the rim profile created through numerous impact tests and FEM analyses, along with the proven Fade MTB hubs and high-quality Sapim Race spokes, results in an outstanding balance of durability, weight and price.

Forge 30 Trail | Light up front. Durable in the back. For the version of the Forge 30 wheelset intended for trail riders and touring cyclists, Newmen relies on its well-known, modular wheel concept. The less-stressed Light front wheel saves weight, while the more robust Base rear wheel ensures greater stability and reliability on your single-track adventures. As with all Forge wheel models, the foundation is the rim profile familiar from the Beskar premium series, further optimized for even greater resistance to punctures.
