NEWMEN Advanced SL X.A.25 Front Wheel 29" 15x110mm Straight-Pull Disc CL Fade

Minimum weight, maximum performance
Lightweight rims with just the right amount of stiffness make for blazing fast XC wheelsets.

NEWMEN Advanced SL X.A.25 and X.A.30 are the successors of their proven Advanced SL X.22 carbon fiber rim. NEWMEN have set themselves the target to create XC wheelsets which are as fast as possible while keeping the price reasonable. An important factor when pursuing seconds between the tape is rim width. Correct rim width is required in order to enable low tire pressures. This allows for maximum grip at minimum rolling resistance without squirming tires and reduced risk of rim strikes.

For this reason NEWMEN does not have one, but two successors for the X.22 rims. Their testing has concluded that, for XC purposes, 25 mm inner width are ideal for tires up to 2.2" and 30 mm rims are ideal for tires from 2.25" and upwards. By optimizing the wall thickness around the whole rim profile NEWMEN has been able to achieve an industry-leading strength-to-weight-ratio and the high durability of the rim flanges allows for use on lightweight trailbikes. Shallow rim profiles provide comfort and grip while maintaining fast acceleration and responsiveness when putting power down.
