Newmen Advanced G.34: 1330 gram wheelset for under 900 euros
The gravel wheelset, which weighs 1330 grams and is designed for tyre widths of 35 to 50 millimetres, is available for less than 900 euros. The Newmen Advanced A.50 road wheelset, which was released at the same time, costs just as much - or less - and weighs 1470 grams.
Newmen Advanced G.34 Gravel wheels
Lightweight wheels are a relief on tours with a lot of elevation gain - and also on fast gravel tours. This is exactly what the Newmen Advanced G.34 wheels offer with their 1330 grams. But weight alone is not enough, the rougher the terrain and the longer the tour, the more comfort also plays a role. Newmen has therefore given the new gravel wheels wide rims that allow low air pressures, which also ensures low rolling resistance and provides an extra portion of grip. Nothing stands in the way of fast gravel races and tours. However, the wheels are also suitable for adventurous tours and bikepacking trips.
The carbon rims have an angled hookless design, which has been tried and tested by Newmen in the MTB sector and promises maximum impact resistance. With a rim width of 25 millimetres, the rims are suitable for tyres between 35 and 50 millimetres.
If you want to reduce the risk of valve defects caused by stone chips, sticks and more - and save 1.5 km/h on top of that - you can equip your new wheelset with the internal Streem Aero Valves, which are included in the scope of delivery. Incidentally, this also gives the bike a clean look.
A rim alone doesn't make a wheel, does it? At the centre is the Newmen Fade R hybrid hub, which combines straight-pull and J-bend spoking. According to Newmen, this leads to a reduction in the number of spokes, aerodynamic optimisation and also offers sufficient lateral stiffness for precise handling. The hub has been keeping the Newmen MTB wheels running for years.
Comparable to the Newmen Advanced G.34, for example, is the Cadex AR 35-wheelset, which weighs 1333 grams with a Shimano freehub. However, you have to dig deeper into your pocket for this.

The best aerodynamic values are achieved with tyres between 28 and 30 millimetres.
