SUPER LIGHT SET OF WHEELS – THE STREEM AERO WHEELSET FROM NEWMEN
We took a closer look at the brand’s Streem Aero set. The Streem Aero wheelset is the lightest wheelset in the Newmen range and is made for the mountains. The set combines a 35 mm rim on the front wheel with 38 mm tread height on the rear wheel. The inner rim width of 22 mm is perfect for modern tires up to 28 mm wide. Thanks to the outer width of 29.5 mm, the Streem Climbing maintains its top aerodynamic values even with wide tires.
The most important link is the VONOA Aerowide carbon spokes. Not only do they weigh 40 percent less than comparable steel spokes, they are also considerably stiffer. As a result, the front wheel needs only 15 spokes, while 18 aero carbon spokes create a stiff rear wheel. For less air turbulence, Newmen also created the integrated aero valve, which disappears completely into the carbon rim. The result: better aerodynamics, cleaner look. The 1035-gram Streem Climbing set is therefore not only a topper for mountain stages, but also an ultralight all-rounder with uncompromising aerodynamics. Each Streem wheel comes with a complete Streem Aero valve set, pre-assembled tubeless rim tape and a Tubolito Tubo-Road inner tube.
Front wheel recommended retail price: €870
Rear wheel recommended retail price: €940

Newmen Testlab: safety along the test bench
At the heart of Newmen’s innovative strength lies the company’s in-house test lab. Here, the entire Newmen wheel set undergoes a baptism of fire to ensure that it meets the highest standards. The Newmen wheels (as well as stems and handlebars) undergo intensive overload, fatigue and stiffness tests to ensure their robustness and reliability even under extreme conditions.
From the drum or brake test bench to the burst pressure test, the wheels are subjected to the most stringent testing procedures. Using special impact tests, for example, the manufacturer ensures that Newmen rims can withstand strong shocks and impacts. The meticulous testing of every detail, right down to the hubs, guarantees that Newmen wheel sets are also leaders in reliability and safety.
